it is "sickening to know that our art is being traded like a commodity rather than the art that it is."
When I go to the store, and pick up a Metallica CD, before I leave the store with it, what do I do? If I'm honest, I pay for it. What is this act of... paying? Trading. I trade my money for Metallica's CD. The CD is the commodity.
How does one trade art? You have stated that people on Napster "trade your music like a commodity rather than the art it really is." What are your suggestions? How can we trade your art? Believe it or not, your music is a commodity, sold in stores, for which millions have traded their money for. How should we solve this problem?
