Warez On Napster
by Maarten Goldstein, Mar 23, 2000 5:30am PSTNews on CNet that there is a hack available for Napster, called Wrapster that allows distribution of any kind of file over the Napster network, which was built for MP3 transfers. Interesting is that CNet has no links in the story to the Napster site, but does link to RIAA and MPAA. What is up with that?

Scott Stapp (lead singer for Creed) says Napster is “robbing me blind.”

The music industry is robbing the customers blind!!!

iso is where it @, napster fills your drive full of mp3's that you listen to maybe once or twice, then you burn a cd and it collects dust
warez is shit, ripped quality, then the hassle of finding the shit!!!!
and you get half way threw and it crashes, then you must find the fix..
waste of time. if you like sumthin buy it. cheap bastards.
Or have a dummy file called "warez.mp3" so we can search for that then hotlist yer asses.
Yes, you may call me pr0nx0r.
What do artists think of Napster's system?
Sean “Puffy” Combs has called what Napster does “abuse”.
Ron Stone (who represents Tracy Chapman, Bonnie Raitt, Ziggy Marley, and others) calls Napster “the most insidious web site I’ve ever seen.”
Scott Stapp (lead singer for Creed) says Napster is “robbing me blind.”
Simon Renshaw (personal manager of the Dixie Chicks) said “While there are great efforts being made to ensure that the rights of the artists and songwriters are protected, Napster’s apparent way of doing business sets those efforts way back.”
Rusty Harmon, who represents Hootie & the Blowfish, said “this type of Web site makes us sick.”
Gary Falcon, who represents Travis Tritt, Michael Peterson, Christy Sutherland and others, said Napster “threatens the whole artist community with its irresponsible actions.”

iMesh lets you share audio, video, and images - no warez AFAIK
also, napster doesn't take an mp3 just because it's named *.mp3. it does a check on it, which is why/how when you do a search it tells you the mp3's bitrate and how long it is in minutes:seconds

You can't outlaw file sharing.
