All you whiny, purest, morality pushers have been complaining that file sharing was taking the food out of the mouths of music artists everywhere. Well, I hope you're happy now. It is obvious that Napster is now in it's death throws. With so many other file sharing progs on the market, no one with half a brain will ever wish to use Napster again. And what did all that whining accomplish? Did it make musicians more money? Will it promote new music in a very competitive bussiness? Will it enchourage aspiring poets to join the music industry? NO!! In reality, it just helped to supress further revenue by eliminating another source of music promotion. We tried to tell you. ?You didn't want to listen. File sharing has worked for years to promote software and computer related products. It only makes sence, it would do the same for digital music. But has it stopped the exchange of free music? No again. It only pushed us to find other ~~~ non-regulated sources of free music. So Metallica, sorry 'bout your luck. But you'll be recieving no more exposure from Nappy. I hear they are hiring at McDonalds. And by the way. For those who still believe in file sharing ~~~ www.imesh.com and www.bearshare.com are two excelent file sharing progs if you can convince your conscience to use them.
