Take an economics class, you self-important nimrod, and lose the sense of entitlement. That's not the way that the independent record-label business works - at least, not if the label's going to stay in business. Which, it would seem, you'd prefer that they didn't. At this point I don't even care about the Napster ruling, and I certainly don't want to hash it out any further on this list, but every once in a while you have to speak up in defense of logic. phil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
