In my opinion, a single PM asking for a rip of a CD that is normally incapable of being obtainined (out of print, too few copies) should be permitted; let's face it, not everyone here can afford $400 for every obscure album they can find, and history shows that piracy cannot be prevented anyway. I completely understand the harassment issue; but if it's troublesome or unethical for the owner of a VGM album to share the files in such a fashion, shouldn't a single reply saying "No, sorry" suffice? And if there are multiple replies asking "why" and trying to convince the owner to change their mind, wouldn't it be enough to simply ban the member? I can understand why users who harrass other users repeatedly should be punished, but shouldn't those who do agree to consent to a file sharing have some peace and privacy?
