Comment Decent argument against napster but... (Score 1) 418
Napster runs on the premise that someone MIGHT have the song one is looking for from that unknown band. They may not and one may still have to run out to a record store or have it delivered to their door.
Also it is possible that they have incomplete copies of the songs. Leaving the potential "pirate" high and dry. Another fact is that while most "artists" (read gluttons) backed by major labels object to mp3's, some don't mind when concerts are made into bootlegs. Isn't this also a form of pirating? If the bands want to crack down on pirating they should attack it all of its forms or else be looked on as hypocrites.
