This issue has been a real hot issue lately. I just wanted to see how everyone feels about Napster.
Personally, I think that Napster is contributes to theft. I cannot understand a business model built on the concept that artists should allow a company to give away their music for free. What else are you supposed to sell if you're an artist? T-shirts??? From the logic of most of the discussion that I hear in favor of Napster, musicians should willingly embrace a concept that promotes illegal copying of their music so that they can sell advertising (for someone else's products).
How do you guys/gals feel about Napster? Do you use it? Do you wish you used it? Do you know folks who use it?
