cyranoOh, and in case the RIAA ever gets its head out of its ass and actually cares to look for evidence that LaunchCast is devastating its sales:
Every single new CD I bought in the past year was because I heard a cut on LaunchCast and said 'Damn! I've gotta get me this!'
I don't know /where/ else I would have heard Apocalyptica, the four cello students who do Metallica covers....
