Today was good day for pirates. I saw a flac copy of the Phil Spector - Back To Mono (1958-1969) boxset. 3cds plus A Christmas Gift For You that I mentioned above. It was nice to see a better copy than mp3. I started to download it but I felt that wouldn't be right. Then I remembered it was a 1991 release and may have been issued in Canada. After reading Kiwi's article about the $60 billion lawsuit against the record companies, I realized that they most likely pirated the music themselves since they probably didn't pay royalties. I just couldn't feel right about buying pirated music from a bunch of hypocrites. So I put the file on the "copyright pending" list and I may pay for it in a few decades. If that's the way they do business, then it must be the right thing to do.

It is a great boxset.
