I hate the music industry as much as anyone, and, yes, for the record companies to claim they're protecting artists in going after Napster is ridiculous.
But come on people. I know you like free stuff--we all like free stuff. But Napster is illegal as shit, and you're taking money out of the mouths of not just the companies, but of the artists as well. It's hard enough to make it in the industry--how much harder is it to recoup your advances if any asshole in the world can download the songs they want for free?
Get off you high horses. You're not cyber Robin Hoods, making the world safe for e-rights. You're common thieves, probably worse than a kid who steals an album from Sam Goody. At least when someone swipes an album from a store, the artist gets his small share. You're giving them nothing, and attacking their livelihood.
Have a nice day.

You like rock and roll, yet you have never heard of the Replacements, the greatest rock band of the eighties. If Paul McCartney got violated by Sid Vicious, the Replacements would be the offspring. Please buy a copy of their most exceptional work, "Let It Be," or download the song "Unsatisfied" from Napster. You can thank me later.
