OK, I'm an ignorant fool and I know it, but could someone fill me in on how trading mp3s via FTP works?
What do you use to download music?

Easy... Just find an FTP (file transfer protocol) site, and it's like looking at their directory listing... then you just download what you want...
I'm sure you could just do a metasearch for "mp3 ftp sites" and find plenty...

If it wasn't for AudioGalaxy, I wouldn't have thrown over a thousand pounds into the music industry buying CD's this past year.
Even if the monopolistic companies knew that, they wouldn't stop killing sites like AG because they make thier billions from popular music and couldn't care less if metal vanished from the face of the earth. The only metal label affilliated with the RIAA as far as I know is Roadrunner Records, and they're almost as good as sellouts to the metal publishing world. They'll make thier billions no problem anyway with everyone buying blind for thier favourite boy band or country singer no matter how many pirates are operating, but they just won't leave it alone, and it's us that gets hit the worst.

See, I wouldn't be sruprised if the goal is partially to keep people from accessing non-mainstream music. You're always going to be able to burn the new Britney Spears album Too many people have it. Surely the big companies know this.
But blocking acess to, say Enslaved, online means it's much harder for people to discover, sample and get into that kind of music. Not that enslaved is necesarily dipping into britney's sales, but when you add up all the underground rock, metal, punk, rap, hardcore, DJ music and so on, I'm sure it amounts to a moderate chunk of the industry, a chunk that competes with the Big Five labels. Hurting AG, primarily hurts the Big Five's compitition.
Also, forlorn's FTP site is pretty good and he's cool and helpful if you're new. If even a quarter of the list join and start uploading their shit, it'll be fucking awesome.
