Bugger, bugger, bugger.
I was having a little clean out of my MP3 player and I have gone and deleted half of my Pink Floyd album collection. :mad: :crying: It's taken my ages to get all the albums (from various sources ). Anyone care to help me build it back up again?

The most irritating thing is that a lot of them were really obscure and I can't for the life of me remeber the titles or artists so I'll never get them back.
Ahem . . . anyways sorry not really into Pink Floyd - try Soulseek tho if your not already using it, for albums its amazing.
Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Saucerful of Secrets
Ummagumma

Oh and I was two short of the complete releases. Needed Tonite Let's All Make Love in London & Is There Anybody Out There? to complete the lot.
I have the rest on my PC. I was trying to transfer the ones on my PC to the MP3 player but I replaced the folder instead of merging. :mad: Thankfully it was only the one folder and not the whole thing.
Any help much appreciated.
Anyway, stop ripping off the band you're pretending to be a fan of and buy the albums you cheap ****
For the record I have the albums (except the 2 I mentioned) on a mixture of vinyl, tape and CD. The CD one's I ripped to MP3 myself. The ones I am now missing are the vinyl and tape recordings.
Am I breaking any laws by attaining a copy of these albums on MP3?
I have noticed that the people who do "provide" collections of MP3's on disk often put a disclaimer saying something along the lines of that they're provided as samples, and you should either own the originals, or destroy the disks within 24 hrs. A bit of a grey area I think.
You also cannot steal intellectual property. Therefore it is not illegal to download copyrighted material, and it is not illegal to own material without a copyright. It is illegal to offer this material for public sale or for public broadcast, and this does include allowing others to download the material from you.
Basically it is ilegal to share not to download.
