The thing here I'm suggesting isn't piracy. It's exposure.

I know what you mean, spaz but the thing is, it should be the artist's call whether or not they would like each individual to pay for the physical CD, or whether or not they want exposure by allowing someone other than themselves to "distribute" their music virtually, without the purchase of more CD's.

And my understanding of Jim's stand on this is that he wants original CD's if someone is willing to donate music to the station, unless the artist gives permission otherwise.

To me this is only prudent. Otherwise it would be opening the situation up to all kinds of nebulous interpretation, however well intended the gift.

And I'm speaking from the point of view of a listener wanting to donate music, I don't know enough about shows to comment on that.
