I see it a little differently now, Napster are out to set themselves up as the next stage in selling us digital downloads. They wanna be the first and the biggest when the crunchtime comes. I reckon they are fighting the case purely for publicity, and they'll be the first to run a dl charging system or subscription system with labeles allowing tracks to be used for their cut. The names too big and as a brand is carrying too much money for it to sink when they lose the copyright case. So while we the supporters of Napster are praying for cheaper music, someone is already devising a way to replace stores (and eventually record companies) by providing another barrier between artist and consumer. scott ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
