Are mp3s considered piracy by HTF?

If not:

Would you be opposed to setting up some kind of file sharing via HTF where we could contribute songs that we want others to hear? ( I have some webspace sitting around)

Ain't gonna happen - we don't discuss or contribute to file sharing/piracy around here.

MP3s and their associated file sharing operations (KaZaa, etc.) are robbing the industry of revenues, and this format, however convenient, is unfortunately being more popular as a form of piracy than a form of personal computer archiving, which was its original concept.

Note: Please, no discussions about copying video/audio sources, defeating copy-protection encoding, and obtaining illegal, bootlegged product. Thank you!

The lost revenues have nothing to do with the lackluster music of today, right?

Larry,

While some discussions of the format of MP3 and a couple of basic discussions on file sharing services have been allowed here-- the active use of the HTF as a gateway for file sharing would not be something we'd be interested in doing (obviously opens up potential legal issues).

So I think well have to keep direct discussion and sharing off the HTF. Thanks for understanding.
