Hi Lars! You probably don't remember, but a few years ago I got in touch with you to ask you some questions for a paper I was writing about illegal downloads/file sharing and their role in professional music. I know you were of the opinion that torrenting and other forms of media sharing were good for promotion and that the positive impact outweighs the negative, but I was just wondering if that opinion has changed, as well as what you think of the very active legal actions being taken on Torrent sites in the last year or so?

Excellent points. Personally I've mostly stopped streaming for the similar reasons to what you described, services like Spotify and Netflix. It wasn't that I was ever trying to get away with anything or get back at the man, but attempting to pay full, market price for media is expensive and difficult. I'll be interested to see if streaming services remain affordable and if they'll be able to start acquiring new media closer to physical release, outside of Spotify, obviously. Thanks for taking the time to give your thoughts, can't wait to enjoy you're future work!

And in case you weren't aware, Demonoid popped back up about a year ago. It was a blast from the past when it did, haha!

PS. Paper went well, got my degree May 2015! :D
