I fully agree. It seems Sony is missing a market that could expand their sales. But maybe not as going to cd-r is likely the least expensive route. I got to thinking recently that banning mp3 swapping actually defeats the RIAA's purpose of maximizing sales revenue. Consider this ... I download somem mp3's on groups I'm interested in. I like what I hear. What do I do? I eventually buy their cd's. Now if there's no Napster what are my alternatives? I borrow from friends and make a perfect cd-r copy of the music I like. Do I ever buy those cd's? Unlikely. Net effect, abolish Napster and cd sales go down. It's sort of like pre-recorded MD's. They were found not to be a substitute for cd's. -jts <Arlington, TX> ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
