I would normally say that yes, this oversteps the boundaries of what's allowed on the BBS.

I think everyone can understand the pain you're in for that particular situation, and I don't think you're wrong in wanting to get the missing tunes from a lost/damaged/stolen disc.

Hell, I've had two separate copies of Steve Morse's "Southern Steel" stolen. Right now, my only copy is my set of 128kbps rips from the last copy just before it was stolen (it was after this theft that I got my first empeg player to replace the stolen CD player). So I know where you're coming from.

Still, I will lock this thread and recommend that you conduct this sort of business on your own, privately, without involving the BBS. Thanks.
