The difference is quality and availability.  Quality is the big one.  And it's a huge issue for the record companies and for ASCAP.

Another thought on the stealing vs. sharing issue... a radio station played
the Metallica S&M album in it's entirety... a guy recorded it from the
radio station, and burned it to CD... and his comment on the Napster issue
was something like "Are they going to sue the radio stations and make them
stop playing their singles next?"  (My thoughts on the issue are a bit
complicated, so I won't post them here... but that's something to think
about).

You make a good point in posting that Tara.  I had always wondered what's the
difference between downloading a song from napster and just taping it off the
radio.  I dunno about others, but napster hasn't stopped me from purchasing
Cd's.  I downloaded a couple of Staind songs and still went out and bought
the album.
