Well more power to the gurus for pointing out that community support of napster could be politicaly dangerous for the open source movement.
I haven't bought a CD in ages, but I just recently started pirating MP3's. I didn't buy CD's then because I hoped to hinder in my small way the music maketing industry that sponsers mediocrity, shuns art, and fixes prices. I now pirate MP3's for the same reason. In an ideal world I would be able to use napster to get ahold of legitamately distributing music, reviewed by my peers. Instead
I have to make due with what is passble after my peers have been brain washed by billions(?) of dollars in marketing/propaganda. Well they shot the Tzar, they gillotined the King, and here in the US murderers get electrocuted. Stealing isn't quite as wicked as shooting gillotining or electrocuting,and I feel little remorse given the character of the victems. The RIAA is concerned that some of us don't have respect for their property. In fact I lack respect for their industry, their culture, and their sarcastic,and parasitic world view.
