It wouldn't be the first time that AV companies reported a virus as having a weak payload, only to be proven wrong later. Look at the nimda virus. It was first reported as a simple outlook virus
The RIAA is not lashing out against Napster over lost revenue in CD sales. Its about much more than that. Its about control. If Napster continues to bring the world examples of music from around the world, pretty soon people will be making up their own minds about what artists they enjoy. Superstars will have to create themselves based on talent and real appeal (not just sex) not just be created by the recording industry's tested advertising formulae. If the masses stop flocking like sheep, the era of the quadrouple platinum album (not a single song created by the artist) will become a memory. The manipulation of the crowds (drink geeky cola, wear goofy jeans) will fade to a memory.
What the RIAA is fighting for here is the right to maintain the monopoly they have created and the right to advertise in it.
Its like shootin fishin a barrel.
I used to be upset 'cause I had no sig
then I met a man who had no feet,
so I stole his sig
he wasn't goin' anywhere with it anyway
The Wickas (not sure if I spelled this right, but I'm attempting to refer here to witches) believe that the energy in the universe is finite. And when you die your energy becomes part of the whole again to be recycled, as it were, as another life form. The eloquence and simplicity of this belief makes room for things such as cloning.
Just man shaping the world around him to suit himself. The real question is: can we continue do these things and still maintain natural harmony. Only time will tell
Experience is really the best teacher.
