Uh Gary ,
You truly are missing the point here with self satisfying sanctimonious to thine own self be true crap. Anna has stated that her artists and label (who have created and funded music that is virtually being stolen and resold with no profit to either party) have no idea how allofmp3 has gotten a hold of her catalog. So are you saying that she is simply stating that out of some self loathing bible thumping guilt she has for stealing elsewhere??
Give me a break and if you really feel comfortable with that statement there has to be some deeper issues going on there.
Good grief!
