If you pirate music, you're downloading communism!

[Alan Taylor]

I like spotify a lot.  I don't care about security worries, there's no 
details of mine on there that are worth having.  I like it because you 
can browse listening to bands I've never listened to before or for a 
long time.  Yesterday, I was listening to HW, Ultravox, Julian Cope and 
Elvis Costello.  It's limited obviously (no beatles for example) but I 
don't find the adverts too obtrusive.
