    They still make LP's, Watson. Collectors appreciate the reality of authentic media. Audiophiles appreciate the better sound. MP3 sucks for audio quality.

    My guess is that in pakistan, the preferred media is 8-track.

    Its worse than that. In India and Pakistan they still made 78 RPM records into the 90's because so many people had hand-cranked Victrolas. It finally succumbed to the Walkman.

    Beatles 78's from India are hugely valuable collectibles.

    Why not just steal it since you are an ignoble thief of intellectual property?

    as was described earlier, i dont like to steal things that deprive the previous owner of that thing. i feel bad about that. and i dont really believe in the concepr of intellectual property in the way that it is currently defined. if you live 30 more years you will see how far ahead of my time i am on this.

    further discussion of this should be in our thread on it.

    Cute cartoons change nothing. Piracy is a federal crime. You are a thief.

    yes, by law i am a thief. but laws do not define morality. making copies of information i find in the world isnt very immoral.
