If you should do that is your decision, you could also write
your congressman and tell him that it sucks. ;o) (and hope
that he cares more about his voters then the lobbies, which
I seriously doubt. ;o) )

You could pay for your downloaded music, but the use of that music
is limited, not only by the quality but also where you may play it.
So in that case a CD might even be less expensive.

You could also just "tape"(record) the songs from radio/tv.
Which I believe is legal?

And shutting down winmx sucks bigtime.
Especially if you are looking for rare recordings
no longer or even never available.
Like I have live concerts I taped from radio
and I shared those, no way you could buy those
ANYWHERE.
(with some even the radio station didn`t have it anymore)

So the judge who did this sucks big time.
I reserved a special place for him in hell.
