Feelings on Napster?


Hi, Since this is in part a forum about music, I'll put this statement and question on the table. In the past few months, I've begun to use Napster online. I'll look through the forum for reccomendations on good albums and tracks, then I'll download it on Napster, take a listen and, if I like it, purchase the album. My opinion is that Napster is really opening up accessibility to music for alot of people, allowing them to try new things that before they wouldn't have access to or simply wouldn't be prepared to invest in. It's helped expand my own horizons I know and I think it's good for music overall. Any opinions?

I'm a professional musician. Napster is stealing money from recording artists, plain and simple. Just because they're "artists" doesn't mean they shouldn't get paid for what they do. Don't fool yourselves, folks - it is theft.

By stealing, you are discouraging artists from putting out new material.
