Is WDZ Suggesting we turn him in just for fun and video tape the results and sell them to ABC for 3.2 million dollars?

RE: Downloading songs
well.... i never see the point in spending £15.99 on an album, when i can get the one song i actually want, for free :P cos not all good songs are buyable, or releasd as singles.... mmmm.... as for the ones where you pay, you wont get the range of obsure music as ya do on something like kazaa....

I dunno what that price is in USD, but it's probably similar. $16 for one CD is pretty high IMO, so that's why I use the Amazon.com Marketplace a lot. You can get many CDs in new or 'like new' condition from private sellers for less than $10, and it's legal. :p

RE: Downloading songs
I don't download much music, about a song per month, if there's one I really like. I don't download entire cds, and I don't really buy entire cds either. I've got just a couple, which I bought, but that's about it.

And by the way, I don't know the current exchange rates, but I'd say £15.99 is about $25.00.
