I wonder if Dalton Trumbo would have ever given Metalica Permision to rip off "Johnny Got his Gun" for their song "ONE" -To be safe however I will wait until Lars is dead to trade any of songs on Napster. I wonder if Napster has thought of making this a subscriber based service - the memebership dues go to pay the royalties of the songs that are traded - Metallica has shown us that it is easy to track what songs are traded, so it shouldn't be too hard to correctly distrubute royalities. This format would also allow the unsigned bands to share in the profits if they so choose.
What you fail to notice is that Kerberos was not a Microsoft idea. This is sort of like copyrighting a Concordence to the Bible, or your seventh grade book report. If I am not wrong copyright laws allow for " fair use" this allows the community discuss potentially harmful or inacurate material.
Ok, under copyright law I am allow to make a copy of any copyrighted material I own for my personal use...Right? I can make a copy of the cd for safe keeping... So I can therefor download a copy of a song off the cd for my personal use, Right? How is this any diffent then making a tape copy of a CD to listen to in the car? What if I no longer care for an artist... can I give away my right to someone else to listen to the music? I don't see how this is any different then a used record store...I wonder how much some of the larger used record shops make off of Metalica?
Why are you under the impression that MP3's are any easier to pirate then any other format> Tapes?CD? Do you understand that you are trying to destroy a new technology that if given its coarse will provide access the widest audience ever and increase your personal profit by cutting out the middle man? Hire a hacker and let them explain to you how this whole internet thing works
