I never said any such thing. For the record, I'm currently on dial-up. I didn't download the show because I don't know how bit torrent works and I'm too lazy to learn right now. However, the show was offered here (via snail mail) to anyone who wanted it, including those like me who had slow connections or weren't familiar with bit torrent, so it's not as if it was being kept from people. You asked why posting the mp3s was such a big deal -- I was just trying to explain that bit torrent traders are usually very strict about format and will withhold stuff in the future if people disregard their requests to keep the material lossless. The fact that posting the mp3s jeopardizes the chance of more rarities being circulated, is a big reason that people are upset.
