Well, I think these things have to straddle the fine line between
"sharing" and "annoying the record companies".  Saying "here's two
hundred free songs!!!" squarely falls in the latter category, while
saying "here's one rarity that can't be bought anywhere" seems to fall
in the first.

Which reminds me.  For years I've wanted to digitise my old VHS tapes
that has oodles of 4AD videos and interviews and stuff.  But I've
never gotten around to it, because I hadn't got the appropriate gear
to make the resulting mpeg streams nice enough.  But I've just ordered
a Canopus ADVC300, which is supposed to be all spiffy and stuff.  So
if that works out ok, I think I'll be starting a "4AD Video of the
Week" thing.  If it turns out that it's crap, then I won't.  :-)
