Elizabeth - Napster is only stealing from the thieves! Your point is well taken and I would agree with you in a perfect world. But since we don't have one, here is my thinking: I am rather amused by this whole RIAA outrage when they are the victim instead of the perpetrator. RIAA has been stealing from artists for years. They just use different tools to do so. Big lawyers, complicated contracts and lobbyists and now they are having it done to them by those using Napster. Turnaround is fair play. To see what I am talking about I refer you to this excellent article by Courtney Love which was noted a while back on this thread. Kinda paints a different picture doesn't it? salon.com So I see it as a rewrite of the Golden Rule. Do onto others as they do onto others. Maybe that's why I liked the Dirty Harry movies so much. I think there will be a big change that started with Napster and it will benefit the ARTISTS and hurt the RIAA as it well should. That's my 2 cents. Steve 667 P.S. Of course stealing patents from SNDK is different. They are the good guys! :-)
