Every time I write a post about the music “piracy” debate, I hope it will be my last post. And every time, I am disappointed. Seriously, people, when will we move past this discussion?

But I thought I’d share with you the letters I’ve been sending with a good deal of success when it comes to download links. Of course I find out where the download links are through Google Alerts. I think the parts you’d need to change are obvious.
Here’s the letter I send to the site/blog where I find the link:
