Poppi, I was on those lists too. Got booted once I found out they were warezers and I spoke out against it. I was hounded and harrassed endlessly in email to the point of having to change email addresses. I got many many lectures that it was okay to get pirate copies if you couldn't afford it "by a high school teacher" on the list. Her rational? They were improving their lives by using those programs. When I pointed out it was a crime, she got real nasty to me. I have no respect for people like that, and if indeed the artist on the hot 20 is one of those, well then, I have no respect for her either. Hopefully the other legitimate artists on this site will read this and adjust their perceptions accordingly. But don't hold your breath.
