the music industry contradicts itself soooo often. god, i hate those guys. almost as much as i hate legal online music stores with their DRM.
The music industry is just a big joke. Their goal is to make money. They would slaughter a million children to make a buck. I have never seen a company cry and act so stupid about nothing...they are making money, their sales are up...yet they cry and want to sue people to get that extra buck. If they could get away with charging a human soul per album they would.
Services like Napster will always rule over all the paid services because you can pay $9.95/Mo and Download all you want. Yea Yea its DRM but if you know a little about computers and Electronics you can record it to your Mp3 player no problem. The people Complaining about DRM are the people who want to share their music with 60 million other people accross the globe. DRM is a fact and you either deal with it or cry like babies. Most new Mp3 players support Napster files. Now I will complain a little about the 128 bit rate. They need to get real and at least use 192 for the files you Download. 128 is not that good for a WMA file. And the labels aren't playing fair by not offering the entire album at times. But there is alot of Alternative Rock and Classic Rock/Metal from groups like Judas Priest on Napster. So now I can relax and remember those great songs of the upper 70's and the mid 80's and still be able to chat with friends in Yahoo cuz I know when I download these Napster songs they'll work every time.
