No offense taken :-) I am not a Creed-fan myself. Those videos came with a bundle
from a friend, who came by one day, with a couple of CD's with videos he had d/l

now, that is like what got me thinking. You see, they aren't the same as far as I
can remember. Yeah well, they could be, but in that case they're using different
usernames.

I guess RIAA can't go downloading themselves, since that would make them breake
the rules they're saying they are upholding. So one solution would be using
"umbrellas" in the sense of having someone do it for you, so to speak.
However, what you said about banning leechers, and the reason for it, is something
I do agree on and was like the initiation of my thoughts. How to stop those from
using up my bandwith and keep the door open to sharers. The sad thing with banning
are that it won't do newcombers any good. I mean, I can understand why someone
starting up with nothing in their share. Speaking from own experience, it does
take awhile to figure out how to rip a CD or DVD, and especially if you want to
rip that DVD to *.mpg/avi.
