Default Christian Music on Peer to Peer networks

Okay, I was bored. I entered the word "Christian" in Bearshare in the expectation of finding some sort of reading material.

What came up was a LOT of contemporary Christian music. Hosted by hundreds of people.

So, is this an example of Christians trying to spread the word of God through copyright infringement? Or is this due to non-Christians who are hooked on this music, and want to share?

My guess is neither: It is probably an example of Christians trying to share with other Christians through copyright infringement.

Try looking at the entire list of shared files by the individuals sharing Christian music. My guess is that they're just sharing it along with the rest of their music.

Yes, believe it or not, Christians are not perfect.

Heh. This is SO much like the Evolve Fish button:

"Christians aren't perfect, they just want you to be."

Uck. It's kinda surprising that they are able to give it away, let alone sell it! The latter hornswoggles me to no end!
