The movement is about sharing, about social interaction with peers, recommendations and growing culture, not about getting what you can and then walking away.
And a CD is as bad an idea as anything else. I can't wait until we get rid of the nasty physical media rubbish and go fully downloadable. Who wants hundreds of coasters sitting around when they can have it all on a hard drive or 2.

Epub is a format standard, but is it a platform standard?
I'm fairly new to the whole P2P community. The stuff I have downloaded stays in the shared folder in case someone else is looking for it like I was. Nothing worse than finding that last song you need only to find out there aren't enough sources available. Freely taken and given on the honor system. I don't share the PHYSICAL media with others because I'm an anal retentive freak when it comes to my stuff. People just don't take care of things they borrow from you.
