RIPPING OFF THE RIPPERS Tumbleweed, you hit the nail on the head! Here is a page that was posted several months ago, but I post it again for those who might have missed it. It shows just how much the record companies have been ripping off the artists for years. This is a big reason so many do not feel one little tiny bit bad about downloading from Napster, including yours truly. Two wrongs don't make a right, but who cares. It sure feels good. salon.com Regarding the downloading by song scenario, it appears to me that the record companies are not interested in this nor will they ever be. Why, you ask? Because it makes the record companies completely un-neccessary. This can be done without them. Meaning they will go the route of the dinosaur and the 8 track tape. Regarding consumer embracing any kind of downloading for a fee in which the downloaded music is restricted in any manner whatsoever which would prevent easy transfer of that music to any player (home stereo, car stereo, boat stereo, another MP3 player, portable CD player, boom box etc.) WILL NOT HAPPEN IN OUR LIFETIME. NOT EVER AS IN NEVER! Steve 667
