OK, paying for napster is bad, but if they didn't work together with Bertelsmann napstar would be closed because of violenting actual copyright law... the question is, whats better...

When they first started talking about this months ago, they said it would be a nominal fee, like around $5. a month. If they stick to that, they'll be ok. I think most people could scrape that together.

We don´t have to worry about Napster is going down . Because there are many open Napster servers where you can login with your Napster software . To reach open Napster servers use NAPIGATOR from www.napigator.com !!

NAPSTER was always doomed anyway.

File swapping and free distribution was always gonna lead to copyright issues.

Didn't they know that artists wouldn't be too happy about their music being "stolen"?

Sorry to be biased chaps, but I happen to be a musician with MP3 songs on the net.
I wouldnt like my copyright infringed!

Napster is a beautiful thing because it's making recording companies realize that they can't steal the majority of the profit from the artist anymore. The artists can now promote and distribute music themselves. The artist (Prince included) can now get the majority of the money and they fucking deserve it.

If I'm going to have to start paying for music again it sure won't be for MP3's encoded at 128, which the majority of the stuff you find on Napster is. Maybe if they enforced a minimum bit rate of 192 or something.

128 is OK for free though.

*shrug* I dunno. I like Napster because I can find all of that obscure music that you just can't find in stores anymore, or had a hard time finding anywhere. I also like it because I can download songs from a CD I plan on buying to see if it's actually worth the $20 bucks for the CD. Now I know of 4 CD's that I plan on buying that I know will be worth the money and effort to purchase.

I'd be willing to pay $5-$10 per month for Napster. I've got about 300 tunes off of Napster and I only burned 2 outta those and ended up buying MANY cds after hearing new tunes from Napster. I still think that it's stupid that record companies think that Napster is a bad thing. There ARE people out there like me that use it to sample bands before buying. I own over 1000 cds, if there's a good cd out there, I want the original, not a burned copy of it. I'm sure that there are many other people that do burn though. One way or another people are gonna find ways to download music and burn it anyways. Like people say, there's other methods.
