i think your request won't piss off anyone or receive accusations of piracy, mainly because it's just that: a request and an idea. imho, in fact, proposing stuff is the best way to handle this.
however, i didn't vote on the poll since i think that your question might just be slightly missing the point. i'd agree with you if there
were licit samples around (or authorized under any form by the band). but what we get over the net are not official samples, just - no matter how we like them - rip-offs of promo-releases sent by the band
exclusively to labels. so i guess that actually doing anything more than dloading mp3s (for those who are willing to do so), i.e., handing them over to others would be a behaviour that i, as a dt fan, wouldn't want to adopt because of the risks of indirectly damaging the band. besides, it still stands with me the idea that there are lots of unofficial (as in "not owned by the band") places where
everyone of us can post his/her own wishlist and suggestions as to how to contact ppl willing to share and so on and so forth.
for the moment i'd say "no, this is too much", but my opinion is however subjected to things staying this way, which means no official samples coming out. perhaps it'd be also different if your proposal involved sharing just
one song or a part of more than one song, as previously suggested by villain, for instance.
