Buying mainstream music albums to support the musician is like buying things from Walmart to support the indonesians working in sweat shops. The system exploits musicians and gives them a tiny percentage of what the public is willing to pay while keeping them trapped in distribution channels which further their exploitation.
Software released under the GPL is one of the few things other than the government that is owned by everyone. A violation of this agreement is a violation against everyone. A violation against our musicians is a violation against everyone too.
So, Napster goooood.
