I have a fair amount of my recordings available as free mp3s has led to some additional CD sales for me. Would I be upset if I were to discover that some recordings that I hadn't released in that way were being distributed through unauthorized (by me) file sharing? In one way, yes, in another way, no. Obviously I don't like the idea of someone treating my recordings as if they had the rights to them when they didn't. On the other hand, I look forward to being popular enough to have my recordings show up in one of those file-sharing operations.
