do others know the saying "s/he has Buckley's" as in "s/he has no chance"?

on reflection that's probably not why you'd call a medicine Buckley's.

What about the fact that those who buy lots of cds are likely to be those who are heavy on the p2p.

I have absolutely no doubt that p2p has some good effects on the industry - especially for really good small time artists, for whom the exposure is invaluable, and for generating fanbases, and so on - but the question is whether or not the net effect is good or bad. and i don't think we'll ever know, because it's not just p2p that has changed, but the music industry's response to it, and the way people approach music now - esp at live festivals and so on - and all manner of other things.

What I want to know, and anyone who has a sensible answer to this please let me know, why don't labels / artists have a donation box on their websites or whatever allowing people to express appreciation for music they may have enjoyed illegally? is it just because it's seen as admission of defeat?
