I thought that all those bands were so rich that
they could afford a small loss like that.
If I were a new aspiring artist I would spread
my music like that, then when it got into the
hands of a recording company, I would have posted
contact info in the id3 tag data so they could
get ahold of me.
Besides, if alot of those people would use
Napster for its intended purpose in the
first place, ie. to try out new music
before they buy up the CD or tape,
all of this controversy would not have
exploded as it has.
After all, I do not know of any place where
you can rent a CD like you do a video movie.
No offense intended in this 'debate' presentation.
