Will some people lighten up about this?! The demo is out and it's not going
to go away just because Maurice removes it from the server. I can see the
point of respecting the bands wishes but why do people get so high and
mighty about it all? I personally am not too interested in listening to the
demo but that is beside the point. I would imagine that even the Oils
themselves should realise that these demos wont stay hidden forever. What
purpose does trying to hide them serve? Next thing you know it will be on
Audio Galaxy anyway. It's time people faced up to these realities and stop
acting like we are responsible for stealing it ourselves. It was stolen.
It's outs there. S**t happens. Should I now cover my ears?

Anyway thanks Maurice - I was grateful of your effort (even if I never got
round to listening to it).
