Yeah hippy you could send a friend your website addy and password inadvertantly, meaning to send it as PM and inadvertantly posting it instaead, and not realise your mistake for a couple of days,....for example. Now I'm sure they don't arrest you for being clumsy.

I thought the idea was to use this sharing as a way of "trying before buying" like most on this forum, I would want to own the original if I liked the music

Absolutely, however I suspect that one wouldnt necessarily want to buy everything that was shared between members. Having played around with compression, I find that anything below 320 kbs is unlistenable after a few minutes so personally, if it was me, I wouldnt bother with stuff that was compressed.

If access was for a "closed user group" then it's likely no one would care (assuming the group remains pretty small) even it is illegal

I'm not so sure no one would care. If you did this, you would present a nice, hard target for any RIAA posse that happened to be passing by in search of scapegoats.

You're probably right Joel, but it's unlikely it would be found, provided we took the right measures and didn't post the access information on a sticky thread here

soalseek.(soalseek.org) allows you to search by user name.you put a user name in your username list and its always there. (you could put it in your sig). there is a thing called shoutcast which enables you to stream mp3/wav etc through wimamp but its more of a radio station type affair.
as for compression , 320kbs is good but if you want cd like quality id suggest wav files , very much larger but if your trying to buy then the file will be deleted when you buy the original anyways or when you decide you dont want to buy it.
it is still illegal though.
you could use soalseek and configure it to just share from your user list , your user name being known by everyone who wants to take part. this way no one else can look at your files unless their in your user list.
thats the best way to do it i recon.

UK record industry starts legal action against 28 file sharers 11:42AM
The BPI has announced that has begun taking legal action against 28 UK file sharers, some of whom, it says, have made thousands of files available for downloading.
It will seek damages and injunctions to prevent them from making files available in the future.

The record labels' chief body said that these 'large-scale uploaders' used the Kazaa, Imesh, Grokster, Bearshare and WinMX networks to make music files available in contravention of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Specifically, section 16, which gives a copyright owner exclusive rights to copy and communicate their work, and section 20, which defines communication as including making work available 'in such a way that members of the public may access it from a place and at a time individually chosen by them.'

Although record labels are largely in favour of the BPI's action, some artists have spoken out against it. Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos said recently that, 'File-sharing is something that has really helped us as a band in getting established. ... For us it has been global word of mouth that has helped our progress, not hindered it.'

The BPI, however, is convinced that downloading has hit sales, and has considerable research to back its case, although sales have begun to recover slightly over the past year. The organisation says that following legal action in the US, where the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has pursued and won settlements against several thousand individuals, the number of files available on p2p networks fell 30 per cent in a year while the number of users has declined by 40 per cent since April 2003.

BPI chairman Peter Jamieson said, 'We have resisted legal action as long as we could. But we would be derelict in our duty were we not to take action to demonstrate that this activity is illegal and harmful to every aspect of the British music industry.'

The BPI's action coincides with similar announcements in France, also for the first time, and Italy, Germany and Denmark, marking the largest single wave outside the US. Some 80 people in Germany and Denmark have made payments totalling Ã¢â€šÂ¬13,000 following the first European action in March.

The CreativeCommon or CopyLeft movements may be the way to go if only you could get the music you require at a price you may wish to pay otherwise P2P or any attempt to circumvent existing copyright law will be frowned upon and IMO rightly so.

As Rob mentioned SoulSeek is already there for you to use, so why re-invent the wheel.

Anyway none of you guys would any of my twiddley shit.
