Metadiscussion: Agora has rolled over for the fall. I will let this
sit for a day or so to allow a few other items to establish themselves
in the new Agora conference, then I'll start The Sixteenth Napster Item.
In the meantime, here was an entertaining rant from USA Today:
"Free CD downloads: Recording industry can't put this cat back in bag"

A university business professor writes about her attempts to give up
Kazaa and use the legal download services.
Quote from near the end:
"The next day, I asked my students in class if they could recommend
any good legal sites for downloading music. I got a blank, puzzled
silence in response. Finally, one student asked, 'Why would you want
to do that?'
"Dutifully, I recited the RIAA's mantra: 'I don't shoplift; I
shouldn't steal music.'
"'But the legal sites don't have any good music,' explained one
earnest senior in the front row."

I, too, would be interested in learning about legal sites which offer
downloads of good music. Unfortunately my search efforts haven't been
especially rewarding, though you do find stuff here and there.
