Napster clients have never been a legal problem, whatever music industry
could say. And other are still there : knapster, gnome-napster. And also
other file-sharing clients, as recently added sour exchange. Removing
them is just hypocrisy and marketing. Is this Mandrake or is this RIAA ?
Ok, napster itslef has nothing to do with open-source, and it's just
another commercial start-up. But the same is happening for movie as
well, and some open-source community people involved in allowing DVD to
be played on Linux are getting sued by movie industry. Will also
Mandrake remove any divX-compliant package (xmps for example), just to
be "presentable", and so backstab the community ?
