    First VA Lunix is Dying Post

    Napster's gone, VA Lunix can't be far behind, since it's worth less per share than A CHALUPA FROM TACO BELL

    if I use my Jeep Wrangler as a getaway car in a robbery maybe we should sue Jeep for "Breaking Laws" and giving me the opportunity to commit a crime.

    FYI - Wranglers make shitty getaway vehicles.

    You're stealing, you know it, I know it, now be a man about it...

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

    he'd probably sell a few hundred thousand copies.

    Or in an ironic twist, he'd sell one copy which would then be downloaded 100,000 times.

    I've been trying to find blues travelers cover of johnny b. goode for 3 years now. the only place I've EVER found it was on napster. it was from a tape someone made at a concert. imagine john popper soloing on that song with his harp going at 3 times the normal tempo.

    I'd gladly PAY for that song, however I've yet to find a place that sells it, including www.bluestraveler.com
    Napster served one purpose and one purpose ALONE for me- rare bootlegs of songs the bands never put on cd. Oh, that and john mayer
