Them sounds like fightin' words ta me. But I won't start a fight. I just want to say that without Napster, I would never have been able to experience some of the great music in our scene. There are so many artists nowadays, some good some bad, lots of conflicting opinions on this list. I'm grateful that I've been able to find out for myself without having shelled out hundreds of dollars on crap. Although I sympathize with artists and labels who truly believe that they've lost substantial amounts of profit due to Napster, my truth is that if I discover something that I believe to be a winner, I'll go out and buy the real thing. So no money lost there. And it's a great way to stock up on classic and deleted records that one would never be able to purchase at any retail music store again. Life sucks now. And to all up and coming idm/electronic artists: I'm awfully sorry, but I just can't afford to buy all of your music.
