I don't consider the recent posts an argument. They're more an expression of disappointment. I think sites like David's provide a great service to the trading community. I disagree he's being generous and servicable in this case. You're right about a lot of things, ricohv. Control is out of the tapers hands once the show is shared, but is it really being elitist for a taper to ask people not to convert a show's format? It's probably too much to ask, but I see it as common courtesy to respect the wishes of people who go to a lot of effort and expense getting good equipment and recording quality shows. I know I won't waste any more time or make any effort trying to liberate shows from traders who don't want to trade mp3s. You're right. If someone has a great show from Fleetwood Mac and they don't want to trade with us Mac fans who'll circulate it as mp3s...they can just sit on it.
