Re: [Librefm-discuss] Libre.fm as the central place for obtaining free music

We could, of course, have both torrents and magnet links.    At some 
point, we walk the tricky line between "employing a team of moderators 
to go around and destroy content" and "risking a legal battle with a 
bunch of idiots."  The whole problem is easily resolved by placing the 
servers in a country where there is no IP law whatsoever.  The moral 
issue is nonexistent.
