  4. When Napster goes down... by calcfreak901 · · Score: 1 · on RIAA Responds to Napster - Raises Serious Questions

    Napster users will first turn to utilities like Gnutella and Scour Exchange to get files (I would have listed more, but don't want to tip off the RIAA or MPAA to ones they don't know about yet). Then when they have queued up a few days' worth of downloads, they will go out and riot, rape, loot, pillage, burn, the usual stuff for pissed off geeks in Napster withdrawal (or was that Vikings/Medieval soldiers in villages?). One thing to do before August 18th is sign the RIAA petition. Don't forget to take time off for those important activities listed above on the weekend of the 19th and 20th!

  5. Boycott by slutdot · · Score: 1 · on Napster Ruling Stayed

    This may be offtopic but since people are mentioning it, I'll say what I need to say.

    I think the boycott should continue for the first two items on the agenda. If you don't want to visit the link, they basically state they want CD prices to drop and for artists to make more money. There's nothing wrong with a boycott on those principles. I'd go along with it even without Napster and I probably will but a one person boycott usually doesn't go anywhere.

  6. The boycott should still go on... by Raunchola · · Score: 5 · on Napster Ruling Stayed
    Yes, I know, Napster won their appeal. Of course, that isn't stopping the RIAA from filing their appeal to Napster's appeal, is it?

    Napster is not out of the water yet. Just because the Court of Appeals gave them a reprieve doesn't mean that Napster still can't get shut down by the RIAA. I could get into the philosophical reasons why Napster shouldn't be shut down, but a lof of you know them already.

    I've already heard the standard cries of "I'm gonna burn my Metallica CDs!" and "I'm gonna send a flaming e-mail to Hilary Rosen!," but c'mon, what effect will that have? So what if you burn your Metallica CDs, you already bought them, right? And so what if you flame Hilary Rosen? You're just giving them ammo to use against you ("Look at this Napster user, see their blatant disregard for us?!?"). That is why I suggest that the planned boycott for the RIAA should go on. If you're going to send a message to the RIAA about how you feel about Napster, hit them where it matters most: their wallets.

    And yes, I realize that this may give the RIAA more reason to cry "They're downloading music from Napster, so now I can't afford my new Lexus!" and the such. But then again, they're going to latch onto whatever they can squeeze sympathy for their side out of.

    And if this doesn't make the RIAA listen up, I don't know what will.
