yes, yes. if it weren't for humans, where would vampires be? good point. Napster was built on a large user base, and nothing will succeed without one. Is this defeat?
There will no doubt be ways--simple and easily accessible--around it. Microsoft and Napster can talk all they'd like and come up with as good sounding solutions as they wamt, but it would all just be lip service to an enraged RIAA. The upside may be that it would remove free music from the common websurfer, thus appeasing the industry and once again giving us geeks more power than the masses
Slashdot Moderator, please make this post known. I've found a way around the ban. If you can get your hands on an older version of Napster (I used 2.0), you may be able to create a new account. I hope I furthered the destruction of the Music Industry as we know it.

whoa! it's the black hole of moderation!
You're right.
Look at the iPod: Before that product, the market for $300 mp3 players was relatively non-existent.
The iPhone will probably do the same thing: Create its own market and then dominate it.
I thought about joining that group when I was at Cal Poly, but then decided I was too lazy. Good thing, I saved myself some serious heartache!
At times like this you've got to just stop analyzing it and say "Holy Crap that's cool"
By "seize his BMW" I hope they mean "seize his head and put it on a pike in the Internet town square between Google and MSN."
My 9800pro is the greatest card I've ever owned. The more I enjoy the fluid gaming experience, the less the $300 I paid for it sounds.
