Napster is gaining revenue from a program that facilitates unlawful trade
of copyrighted material (not direct revenue but revenue generated based
on the principal idea of the program)
Offspring is gaining revenue based on the same criteria although granted
in a more direct way
End result and copyright principal is exactly the same
All this talk of musicians of the future needing to gain their revenue
via touring and merchandising as music will be free with corporate
underwriting...I mean hey if copyright is going out the window then fuck
it, I'm going to start selling Coke shirts as a sideline. Get while the
gettings good and all that.
I think this is the most genius response to the whole thing yet. Flip the
copyright hotseat around and see what happens.
(note : my views, not my companies views as a whole. Just bored and
spouting...).
