I visited the site and it looks like it started a week or two ago.
I did a search for the site in Mamma and Metacrawler with the keyword
'Piano Network' and couldn't find it.  Just my opinion but it seems
that if they're going to charge for space they should already have an
established site and lots of regular traffic.  I wrote to them and
asked them to explain their logic in charging for that which is to
large degree free, but they have not responded.

Musically,
John

P.S. Just curious here, how many techs would have signed up at
Player-Care if I charged, say, eighty bucks ... A YEAR?  Hello!!!
