I usually have to see a movie with a featured song in it to be prodded into going to download a song.So, this February I went to see Daredevil and was enthralled with the music (with Elektra, but the music as well). I got home and hopped onto my favorite peer to peer server and began downloading the songs. Much to my displeasure, all the songs had been "beeped", that is they had very loud dial tones randomly inserted into the song. This left enough of the song to get a taste, but not enough that it could be ignored entirely. It was enough of a pain that I was forced to open up the coffers for a CD ... the first CD I have actually purchased. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />IMO, I believe that these crapped-up songs will be enough to prod many of the casual peer to peer'ers into buying the CD. Apple is launching their own campaign, selling downloadable songs for 99 cents. I have also found out that these dial tones are easily removed with software, one of them being Sampletude(sp?). Knowing how to use Sampletude is another issue.</blockquote>
