This may be a little off topic but...Musicians are famous because of us, the public. If they want to be a sellout and sell a million copies then they must serve us. We made them were they are today. The compact disk industry has been ripping us consumers off for years. They make huge profits off of cheap media. So if music fans are fed up with the CD industry and we want to change it(via Napster), the top selling musicians(our servants) should obey our wishes and stop whining and figure out a new way to capitalize on this new industry. We put them were they are, after all. If they want to stay there they should at least follow some of our most important wishes! The role of a famous musician is to entertain us. That is all. If you are a musician and don't agree with this, more power to you. I find it ridiculous that lousy musicians are making millions of dollars while, talented, original, true musicians are struggling. Napster will give these guys more exposure than they ever had before though.

I'm kinda glad that there are someplaces safe in the world from the internet. Even if they do resemble hell for people.
