Hmmm... Ya know dude, those guys were all stuck working day jobs before Napster came along. Which is not to say that that's a good thing, but it isn't Napster's fault. If we're all really *really* lucky, Napster et al will do enough damage to the majors that a few new oportunities might open up for those of us stuck in day jobs. The industry as it is certainly isn't going to provide any. If a whole buch of perfectly good musicians are getting screwed as it is, what exactly does one have to lose? ------------------------------------ joemackay@accesswave.ca www.accesswave.ca/~joemackay www.mp3.com/cogito --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
