    Your views on downloading music... For or Against?

    I'd like to hear people's reasons for why they do or don't download music. I'm talking non-paid downloading. Any reasons would be good to hear- legal, moral, emotional- whatever. Thanks :) P.S. The paper is on intellectual property rights and she is focussing on downloading music.

    About Miatas from different years...

    Are there many notable differences in the different Miatas over the years. I'm looking at getting a used one, and am wondering if much was changed as the years went by, or if the the early 90's models are more or less the same as the late 90's models. Recommendations on certain years to look...

    Taping and Burning Music

    I'm wondering about the legality of making copies of CD's, either through taping them or burning them. Is this considered piracy in the same way as downloading music of the internet, or is it covered by some other rules? **I'm not asking whether people *think* it should be alright, but what...

    Simple question about CD-RW discs

    For whatever reason, I've hardly ever used CD burners. Now I'm getting one (52x24x52 LiteOn I think), but I'm not sure what the right media to get is. Do I need to have 24x CD-RW discs & 52x CD-R discs? Or do just any discs work, but at slower speeds? Thanks :) Adam

    Who moderates the mods?

    Shouldn't there be some sort of system of checks and balances set up. The mods have a lot of power and, of course as we all know, power sure can corrupt. Its scary to think that the mods can take whatever action they wish without fear of retribution. :Q lol ;)

    Maybe I'll go back to Net-Zero

    I'm thinking that with my DSL, I spend way too much time online, and I can't seem to set limits for myself. Perhaps, if my only internet access is through some garbage service like Net-Zero, I won't have the patience to spend extended periods online, and I can do other things with my life... :(

    Pay for downloading MP3's?

    Are there any sites these days that allow you to pay a fee to download MP3's? Sites that are technically legal. I guess Napster will be doing this in some way soon, but are there others that are already doing it? Thanks :)
