I am a firm believer in the fact that no matter what the RIAA or anyone else says or does, music will continue to pass freely throughout the internet community. Maybe Napster is dead, maybe not. Maybe Gnutella won't work, maybe it will. Who knows at this point. I'm sure someone, somewhere will come up with the "next big thing" and we'll all be enjoying our free music. There are so many people who have had a taste of this free music that even if only a small percentage get together to try and continue to keep it this way, there's no way the RIAA or the federal government can keep plugging up all the holes springing up all over the place. We just have to remember that we have the strength in numbers, and that paying $15 for a cd with 10 songs on it is the biggest and longest running scam going on right now. Information deserves to be free, let's at least try and keep that true for our music long enough for the record companies get the message. Maybe eventually the record companies will crumble and there won't be any more middle man sucking up all the profits. Then the fans and the artists can get the full benefits that they deserve.
