dhawk0948 - you are 100% correct there. Especially about everyone, big or small, is gonna get hit. Thing is some of the big boys are appearing to lay the blame for poor sales squarely at the little guys. As well as being ethically unfair, it's also BS. No way can small sites - even if you combined them - make enough cash/traffic to seriously threaten the larger one. Its also something that most artists know isn't true. Customers ain't stupid, and they don't like it when companies start telling porkies, it risks damaging two simple concepts ..trust and respect. Say for example you where wrongly accused in a supermarket of breaking some eggs. If you then saw a shoplifter legging out the fire exit with a widescreen TV. While you might not hold the door open or get one yourself, you'd hardly be likely to call security. Rough analogy there, but I know folks who usually are rock solid about stuff like reporting infringements or sharing, but now they say stuff the big site.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
