Ah I am new to this so be kind to me lol! Well this site anyway! Now the point I have always raised is that all the time we get record companies, artists, etc. etc going on about illegal file sharing sites, BUT my valid point is that I download lots of Dance music etc. and a huge amount of the various mixes and remixes of some tracks are NEVER legally available as record companies decided what they will and will not make available to download or indeed buy on cd singles, even if you can find an outlet that sells them, BUT a lot of these mixes are freely available from file sharing sites so why oh why can companies not make all the various mixes that were originally produced by various remixers before the final track listing is decided available then people like myself would legally buy them, it often happens that various dance music stations like Kiss 100 and Gaydar play mixes that were legally made and listeners love them, BUT you cannot get these mixes you like as companies choose not to release them, please don't get me wrong, MOST of my music collection is 100% legally paid for but odd mixes have to be obtained elsewhere due to this non availability.
I welcome a Virgin download site, good idea but please Virgin, don't add DRM rights stuff, if you pay for a track you should be free to reasonably use it for what you want to. Thanks all.
