Re: [Re: [newbie] Gnapster (continued)...]
Regardless if you think using napster to aquire music is stealing, try-before buy, or whatever, IT DOESN'T MATTER! Wyclef/Rock said it best. The genie is out of the bottle and a critical mass of people are now using and familiar with mp3's. The record industry is simply going to have to adapt. Industries change no big deal.

The 'ethics' of using software should be a personal decision. My Gawd, look at all the Windoze sinners . S, if'n when Nap gets killed by a bunch of greedy lawyers ;- there _are_ alternatives. I've been able to install and connect with Gnutella ( http://gnutella.wego.com/ ) using Mdk's 'gnubile' rpm, but no luck finding/getting anything. I get plenty of connected servers, I can 'see' a lot of available files but i could sure use some pointers from some experienced Gnutella/Gnubile hands (yeah, I read the tutorial :) I also gave 'Gnut' a spin... did even worse ;( -- ~~ Tom Brinkman[EMAIL PROTECTED] Mark Weaver [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: yeah, but what about the people whos livelyhoods are earned by those songs? and what about the people who hold the copyrights to those songs. don't they deserve to have their material protected from being stolen? that IS in effect what napster does.
