This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

No, I certainly back you.  I'll admit to having downloaded some music, but
all of it is rare imported stuff I can't find elsewhere.

One of my favorite bands, NoMeansNo is moving out of the CD pressing
business all together and looking at a Vinyl, MP3 distribution model from
now on.  This will, in the long run, be great for artists, I think.

But yeah, Stuart, your description of the difference between Film/TV product
and music piracy is well placed.
