iTunes Music Store. 99 cents is pretty cheap for one song. If you must steal, i'm sure the internet is full of other outlets for your criminal activities. Google is your friend.

I am guessing that Oink was a modern day equivalent to the early Napster, an illegal downloading service? I had never heard of it until this thread.

Sorry, like several other posters, I buy my music, usually not even on line. Buy the CDs and rip 'em!

They can't bust you for downloading music illegally (except for those rare cases where someone has racked up 50,000 downloads since the year 2001). On the other hand, if you're the one making the files available for illegal download....
