I've heard that stat a lot. I've also seen it disputed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Where/how is the best place to get one song online? I've seen you mention various places, but I'm willing to drop a dollar or so just to get a copy of Ozzy's "Mama I'm Comin' Home." I've got a dial-up connection on Win98 with IE6. There's got to be some place that panders to my run-of-the-mill setup.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Have you tried iTunes?
Which reminds me -- MusicMatch JukeBox has a super-tagging feature which tries to look up an MP3 in the CDDB based on its filename. Very good for clearing up stuff that was sloppily tagged.
I can't find that functionality in iTunes. Does it exist?

Not tried anyplace, yet. Figured I'd ask the experts.

Thing is, I'm not absolutely convinced SuprNova and the other tracker sites are doing anything illegal. The only thing they do is provide links to files hosted on other sites, and those files themselves don't constitute copyrighted material.
But that doesn't help the guys who host the tracker sites fight the lawsuits.

I can confirm that iTunes has several versions of this song available.

Whoo hoo! Time to tie up my downloading channels for a couple of hours tonight.

I don't think there's a version of iTunes for Windows 98.

Trust my rage
What I did on Suprnova was download TV episodes I had missed. I don't see any difference between this and Tivo or a VCR. I hope the courts agree with me, eventually.

That presumes this will ever get to the courts. If none of the tracker sites have the finances to fight the lawsuits, they'll just keep disappearing.
Although one of them just switched to a .tv site, which, if memory serves, is outside US and EU jurisdiction.
