First of all, I would like to extend my thanks to the folks at Snoqualmie Casino for providing all the free music lately.

However, as a long-time law-abiding citizen, the situation does raise some concerns for me. It was only a few years back that there was a big uproar over the unauthorized downloading of music; bands were suing, record companies were going bankrupt, teenagers were being arrested in their bedrooms for recording the latest cool song.

The last thing I want is for the FBI to be kicking down my door because I accidently listened to two hours of Boz Scaggs (clear as a bell, word for word, inside my own home with the doors and windows shut out of neccesity on a pleasant spring evening while trying to get my ill 2-year-old grandson to sleep).

I realize the tribe members aren’t subject to the same laws as the rest of us (including those of both common courtesy and community relations), but I have no desire to be party to anything illegal. I know I would sleep better if I knew that the respective artists were aware that their music was being broadcast without charge to more people than had actually paid to see them (well, no, actually I wouldn’t sleep better — the music’s too loud). Oh well. Anyway, perhaps someone could advise me on this.
