Where do you procure your music? I can't find any cheap, legal means of getting most of the music you list.

Copyright infringement == rational music acquisition?

The legal risk these days is pretty minimal, copyright is a diseased institution, the savings are substantial*... As rational as any other suggestion I know of.

* I have 1851 tracks currently; this would cost, at a minimum, thousands to acquire legally, and worse for me, because so many of them are Japanese doujin music, I would have to pay major premiums for international shipping or simple rarity of the physical release.

An expensive preference; wouldn't it be cheaper to cultivate a liking for hookers & blow? But de gustibus, non disputandum est...
