I feel the need to point out two issues which the NPR story i heard last night included, and this Reuters story omitted:
1) The BMG service would be a service within the current Napster model. That is, the impression that I got from the story was that it would be an add-on to the current service, where the current version of Napster would run along side this new BMG service, so subscription would be optional. 2) The entire deal may be rendered moot if it is ruled that users are within their rights of sharing under copyright law, an issue which is currently under consideration. peace, h
