I'm not a Napster user, hell I didn't even know about Napster till all the lawsuits. But I have checked it out and I fell it is a good thing. I don't see how sharing our music is hurting the industry, I think it would help sales. I have friends in several other countries that haven't heard some of the music we listen to, and they have stuff I haven't heard. But with the freedom to exchange my music I have found several groups I like and will look for or even request at my local CD store.I am embarrassed that our government has gone so far as to try and limit our freedom. As for the artists involved well I am very sorry you lost a couple of dollars but some of us can't afford a tape let alone a CD so we do ask friends if they can get us a song or 2 that we do or did like up until now. I have kept an eye on who the whiners are and I for one don't plan to even acknowlage they are even out there, meaning I will not allow a Metalica song in my home or car, and so forth. Some of these groups have loss my respect and that of many of my friends. I am very sorry to have taken away all the profits and brought the artist down to poverty level. But this is just my opinion.
