		<description><![CDATA[The pirates want free music?  Not on my watch!  I demand free advertizing in return.  (And the pirates have not disappointed me, yet.)  How can anyone pirate that which is given for free, cash-wise?  You can&#039;t, really.  Simply by publicly enjoying the music, the &#039;pirates&#039; give me all the free advertizing I want.  Win/win.

Next step?  The donation button and a tally of how much has been donated.  Let those who wish to &#039;win the contest&#039; try to outdo their fellow donors.  I&#039;m not going to get fabulously wealthy or get rich quick, but that was never my goal, anyway.  I&#039;m more than happy to settle for comfortable, and I&#039;ll let the corpses of RIAA and MPAA pave the way to that comfort.

Or I could try getting signed on with the big labels...pay the label to distribute my music to paying customers who LIKE DRM (unicorns!), so I can go into debt fattening some suit&#039;s wallet?  Probably not.

Giving it away for free sounds much better.  What exactly do all those middle-men do, anyway?]]></description>
