Great work Indy, cheers to you and you other guys who have been working so skillfully and creatively on Morpheus signatures/startfiles!
I like the idea a lot. Hopefully in the future we will have also many p2p-friendly artists supporting the same general idea: trusted sources / rippers feed the original verified files / rips into p2p networks and publish the signatures of them (for all relevant clients/protocols) in their websites so that people will be able to search directly for the right files and will have no doubts about their genuinity. This is all the more important as people are gradually getting more quality-conscious and are upgrading their libraries to higher bitrates. There are many greedy traders who 'upgrade' their crappy low-bitrate mp3s to higher bitrates with the various conversion programs, thereby polluting the shared content pool with bloated low-quality files. Public signatures for quality rips will be an effective countermeasure to this sort of deception.
