In Portugal even a classic like "music has the right to children" is not easily found in stores. And I'm talking about large cities, not small towns :) If I want to ear some EP from Arovane, Funkstörung, whatever, and I don't trust the Net as a medium to buy anything, I would have two options: forget the record or going to napster. Another example, yesterday I tried to find Bola in stores and... I didn't found. I could give you more examples. I believe if you have cash ($$$$) or if you live in large cities in England, Napster is stealing money from artists. But when cash is low and/or you don't live in cities with good stores, Napster (or Audiogalaxy ;) ) is realy an option... And access to culture should be universal, I think...
