Feelings on Napster?

Agree again. Why do you open yourself up so much, Carl. Don't you realize how many people you've offened on this site?

Not so many, just you and Korn, and I'm ok with that. You need to get a life, and grow up a little bit. Keep it on audio, or you know what will happen. Others have gone before you....

Cornfed, I'm glad you're so sure of yourself, there, especially since that makes no sense at all.

It's simple... distributing copywritten, intellectual property, in any form, is illegal. This forum is full of absurd allegations... greedy record companies, cheated starving artist, and those sweet, pimple-faced teenagers who download MP3's before they rush out and buy the CD. People, get real; stop trying to justify stealing. From what I've read here, it is clear many of you have little understanding of the record business. Your hard earned $15 is NOT gobbled up by Porche-driving A&R guys. There are MANY hard working and talented individuals involved in the process of creating music. Songwriters, artists, publishers, musicians, managers, studios, producers, engineers, assistants, mastering engineers, arrangers, technical people, graphic artists, photographers, manufacturers, promotions, and let's not forget... lawyers for all the above. Each of these individuals make a living from the sale and distribution of the music they help create. Napster, and the equivillents, whether by intent or not, contribute to breaking the laws are in place to protect these individuals.
