Oh well. I have two mix CDs made by friends. I use Napster - in fact, I just downloaded a song today. It's from a CD that I will never in a million years buy (Backstreet Boys "Black and Blue") but my friend Julie said that the song should be "my" song (the song is "Get Another Boyfriend"). She sang some of it for me on the bus yesterday. It made me laugh, and I wanted to hear the rest of it. I've heard all the arguments against this sort of thing, and I read all the posts here in the past few days.... but for some reason, I don't have a problem with it.
