"Uhm...Look, do you want me to make you a cd, i can do it, and do it for free??"

"Really, it'll sound just like a cd but you won't have to pay for it! Isn't this world grand?"
*chours*...
in spite of many punk kids claiming that napster==freedom, therefore taking away napster==no-freedom, as others have admitted, napster is almost entirely a pirating tool. Its junk, and has nothing to do with freedom, except the abuse thereof. Anonynimity is also being abused by a bunch of foolish individuals who seem to give their brain a vacation while on the internet. I honestly believe the only possible loss of freedom will come from people who continue to act like airheads, thinking they're justified for _anything_ because they're on the internet.
Napster has nothing to do with freedom. Thats a bunch of bunk to say metallica is going after innocent 'kids'. Stealing is stealing, EVEN IF its on the internet, and napster is a breeding ground for pirating. Down with napster!

i would enjoy seeing these criminals taken to court and sentenced to at least a healthy 20 years in jail
