Responsibilty (Score 1)

//prepare for downward moderation. Not jump on any side here ... esp NOT RIAA!!! Nor to attack the FSF==free everything zelots. But a lot of people seem to be missing the point of responsibility here. Lars had a very good point. Napster is a corportation. They provide a service. It IS their responsibilty to try to protect the IP rights of other entities, to the extent they are able. It is like if any employees started using pirated software (IP is only public domain if specifically released as so) on company computers. Who is ultimatly responsible? The COMPANY. (IANAL) I'm not saying I like how Lars and the gang have chosen to protect their property, but it is their right. And Napster does have the responsibility to respect their rights. As for RIAA, they are greedy money grubbers trying to squeeze the public for all it can. The sooner Metallica and other bands cut them out of the money chain, the better for everyone else. My opinions are entirely my own, not yours, nor anyone elses, and you can't have them! Feel free to quote me mock me or whatever me. Frankly, in the end I DON'T CARE! OUT
