You make some very fair an valid points. My only concern is that the idea of music "ownership" will be lost. I make music as a creative expression and although like-minded people can share that expression of emotions and ideas for me, it is a very personal thing and I just can't invisage sharing that experience.

Again, sorry if I sounded like an ass in my previous post, I guess the idea just got me a bit riled!

There is some very good stuff coming out of some of those sites you posted links to and I never intended to undermine their work in the slightest
