It seems that Napster could be back in business, or should we interpret this article?

The record companies seem to be doing unlawful deeds themselves, not surprisingly. The whole idea of copyright has been misused during the latest decades, in my opinion. I myself haven

cahult, let me guess you have all of the "Hit's of the 80's" collection?    I haven't bought a CD in quite some time period (and I don't download music either).  But I would be considered an old fart by most on here (and I was even in a rock band up until a couple of years ago).
Someone please remove this account. Thanks...

Honesly I would never have started downloading mp3's if Metalica and the Record companies weren't such dicks.

They expect us to pay everytime we play a song we already purchased....sure thats going to happen.

These people say Napster et al are hurting music sales, but more CD's were sold in the year after Napster came out that before it.

These same folks said that radio would kill the music business when Tesla and Marconi's little invention got big....right.

They (who ever THEY are!) also said that Microsoft would give large software companies a bad name and that anyone who worked for them would have to skulk in the shadows to get home and.......ooooops gues "they" were right on that one atleast.   :D

Interesting points of view.If there is such a thing as Capitalist Communists,the recording industries would have to be that.

The sale of cds n all will continue for a long time to come, however I think the music industry realises that this can't carry on forever. By attacking n sueing ppl like Napster they hope to slow down the decline and eek out the final pieces of change from our wallets b4 music dl's r the be all and end all.
