Napster Banned by Judge: Another Victory for the Screw-the-Little-Guy/Gal Record Co.
http://www.thestreet.com/_yahoo/mark...s/1016853.html
Well well well...that was a suprise. Not.
What do you call a group of Companies that get together and collaborate to keep prices artificially high on a consumer product that is directed at a vast majority of society, especially economically challenged young people...The Recording Industry Association of America. This is not my opinion solely, but one agreed upon by the United States department of Justice too...who are in the process of suing major record labels for collusion.
And Napster lost, an outlet for people to share their personal copies of music with others. Such evil little bastards these sharing maniacs, for even though record sales are higher than ever before....The RIAA still wants more more more more. Well I have one word for them:
Gnutella
http://gnutella.wego.com/
http://www.ultimateresourcesite.com/gnutella/server.htm
Where you not only can share music, but personal copies of software. Put some power back into the consumer's hands....you've been screwed long enough.
do it now.
