" Just went over to Napster and they only have 90,000 songs bring shared down from over 1m. " I just checked and it is down to 74,000 songs and only 290 gigs. I'm sure some teenager somewhere has that much hard drive space in his rig all by himself! I checked a few titles and there is still plenty of lesser-known major label songs up there. But it is only a matter of time before they too will come down, and Napster will have about 5 or 6 songs to choose from (all by amateurs). Which just goes to prove that Napster was riding on the backs of musicians to make a buck and Napster users were not interested in promoting and supporting new unsigned acts. Even Limp Bizket (a band who was on the Napster payroll last year, along with their singer Fred Durst being a Napster VP) has REMOVED their songs! Napster users simply wanted popular major label music for free, produced and made famous via marketing by major record labels. Those who were crowing about "freeing the music" and how Napster and Mp3.com were created for unsigned (amateur) musicians have been exposed as being full of s___.
