Napster.... Freedom or Fraud?
« Reply #75 on: February 02, 2001, 01:53:00 AM »
"niki makes two complete circles, it still retains enough E to power California and half of Oregon"

I would like to use napster to "steal" some of the Nik's E
 
I was joking about the "vive la revolution" toejam ya doofus.  

I use napster, I will continue to use it until its banned (and that wont be easy)
But the only person's opinion that will change my outlook untill i see some proff that its doing damage is mine, and i feel that paying $15 for 7 miniutes of music justifies my "theft"  and to me YES thats all that matters.

"Maybe you don't like the fact that AH hasn't enough clouds...steal from them"

That apple tastes like an orange to me  
why dont ya do a "save the children" analogy too

Go listen to some music or something.... you're boring me hehe      

And don't take my ribbing seriously... Take comfort in the fact that if I have an opinion on something, it's common that 99% of the folks around here seem to disagree with it.  

They're good people though (for a bunch of overweight, ill informed, wife beating lemmings!) ... so yer in fine company.

Alright Nash, seeing as how the 2 of us have pretty much ran away with this thread lets call it a day.  I must say I really like yer style of debate, arguing with you has been a pleasure, and I am ashamed to say you have made me hate myslef a little for using Napster...BUT JUST A LITTLE!  

<SALUTE!>

Nash, you sure SOUND like a conservative in here? Are you really a closet REPUBLICAN?

Is it so hard to understand?

Napster is a tool like guns or even like "Notepad".
Theres always people who use tools like these in a wrong way but does it really meant tools like those should be illegal?

Some people drive their cars overspeed; Shouldn't you make a law against cars and draw car-manufactories to court?

I can already see newspapers telling:
"Nobody wont drive overspeed anymore in our highways because owning/using a car is illegal, Hallelujah !"

Think about it.

I think that many people are forgetting that Napster works equally as an opportunity provider for new artists. People download and try tunes they'd never buy from a shop - simply because they're unknown to them.

I found one of my favourite artists through borrowing a record from a friend of mine (no I didn't have napster yet) and with this philosophy what I did was illegal right?

I didn't pay the artist for using his product...

However, I doubt the artist is very sad today since I liked his music so much that I own probably 90% of his known production in CD's at the moment.
