I am not promoting it or siding with them. All I am saying is that it's a waste of time battling them in court. There are so many ways to get music, files, etc, you can NOT regulate it. EG: download.cnet.com SNIP: > Gnutella is an open-source file-sharing application. It differs from Napster in that it is an open-source, fully distributed system that has no central server, and as such can't be shut down for violations of copyright due to the sharing of MP3s and other files.< *********************** Artists have to put their heads together and figure out a way to profit from it. Any other time spent on shutting down services is just a waste of time and only making the lawyers rich.
