Right on, lets all stop buying CDs and more importantly, tell all our
friends to stop buying them and why. If you really need some music use
a Napster alternative (I bet in a matter of weeks the net will be flooded
with napster type servers-- the music industry is playing a losing game
thinking shutting down Napster will save them and if they haven't seen
that they need their vision examined.
Cmon, its happened with [my fave download type] classic arcade roms-- the
giants shut down arguably *the* site for everything, now there is more
than ever on numerous sites which sprang up in response to serve the
demand-- all with everything the original main site had. By blowing one
apart, the moguls created a dozen sites all doing the same. They may be
a little harder to find but the extra bandwidth is helpful and when you
find one, you've found them all cos they link to each other in true web
culture.
When will media giants learn they can't control the internet? They have
to live with it and accept things are a little different here. I spend
money on the net (like my 30gig drive I installed tuesday) but bullying
by large corporations seriously p!sses me off and they're not gonna get
any income through that!
