Though it seems illegal to download mp3's, files, etc, from p2p sites. Is it ok to share (i.e. upload) mp3's to share? I have some old records which are not yet released on CD's. I have checked ebay, several CD sites, and even the artist's site, though I could contact him or his manager (John Rowles - New Zealand 's most poplar singer from the 60's - 70's).
It seems a waste of the record's old tracks (mainly b side tracks on vinyl 33's) that I have had for over 30 years, - can't sell them, as they are sitting in numerous NZ 2nd hand shops, and no doubt thousands of NZ homes. But I'm sure many NZ's and others might want them on CD's...
