Have you ever heard of the Grateful Dead? Even Metallica lets people trade LIVE recordings There are tons of live Metallica nd Grateful dead recordings available through Napster. What Metallica want to stop is the trading of STUDIO recordings.
They aren't. The files on a music CD are not the same as an mp3 file, which is what mp3.com encoded the CD's to. Gee, I hope that $200 HDD never crashes, cause you'll be outta luck, and outta music.
So in essence what you're saying is that the artists, recording engineers, producers, and distributers involved with bringing you that music aren't worth anything. You can't be a musician, otherwise you'd know it takes alot more than one dollar to produce a CD. I know people selling self produced CD's for 15 dollars and aren't making squat. These people deserve to eat. How do you make your money? Flipping burger's, or livin' off your parents, no doubt. Once you grow up, Anonymous Coward, you will find out that living in this society is no free ride.
What you didn't realize is that your University pays the royalty fees for the radio station. EVERY radio station pays royalities. You even pay a small royality when you pay for the cassette tape, and (I am not sure) for the burnable CD.

I am not an asshole. and your wrong. If I get caught speeding, I am breaking the law. Do I forfeit my rights to free speech? I dont think so. and what about that guy in Michigan that got arrested for yelling cuss words when he fell out of a canoe? Free speech? And if I cross the road not in a crosswalk, I am breaking the law, do I forfeit my rights to an attorney?

As a recording musician, I am glad to see this. mp3.com was STUPID for not getting permission from the record companies.
