i tend to think the opposite way, that Napster (and mp3s in general - this is an old debate) introduce people to music they would not otherwise have heard, and thus can only be beneficial to the music industry. most people, at least the ones on this list, would probably agree that mp3 quality is only so good - so if i hear in an mp3 i really like i delete it and go look for the CD (okay, maybe not in that order). unless it's something like the _one_ song that i like by some band whose music i don't respect enough to ever buy their CD (ie. dave matthews "crush"). in which case dave matthews and crew can go fuck themselves. sorry to decrease the S/N. nub --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
