I find that invite-only doesn't work extraordinarily well for music-sharing, either, but it seems to be the way some of the best ones have gone.
I find, personally, that I kind of like the Victorian method of dealing with censorship: adding a subtext that only those in the know will understand. So one can write about the most explicit taboo subjects using keywords that pass completely under the radar of anyone trying to censor it. Probably that already happens to some extent in fandom, and I'm not really suggesting that it should be adopted en masse, but I do think that done skillfully, it can often enhance the erotic charge of a text rather dramatically.
f.y.i.: downloading music for personal use is perfectly legal in Canada; uploading could potentially get one in trouble (contorted legal reasoning, I suppose).
Will you join my "hotmail is evil and sucks ass" club? As the second member, you can be honorary vice-president.
