The Napster Saga

Hahahahaha! I'd REALLY like to know how Napster is positioning itself as a multibillion dollar company. Hilarious shit that! No revenue, no source of revenue, not public, etc, etc....gawd, thanks for the laugh.

I would have no problem with downloading a song for $0.50 a pop. That would make a 10 track album worth about $5. Considering that there would be no cost for shipping, packaging, retail shelf space, whatever, that would be about right, and it would allow the artist to make a hell of a lot more money per track and per album.

I could realistically see the artist and the promoter/record label splitting the profit right down the middle, i.e., artist gets $0.25 for every downloaded song, and $2.50 for every downloaded album. That'd be more than what the majority of artists, yes even the popular ones, make these days anyways (roughly $1 per CD that costs $15 --> $20 in the stores)..

Guess I'm just hooked on this whole 'new economy/buy anything and everything on the web' convenience thing.. :)

Napster = bunch of llamas on 56k's, plus they never have anything I want..

I would pay if I could download the Alice In Wonderland discs by Randy Grief. Fuggin' out of print.

BTW, if anyone has those... *wink wink* *nudge nudge*

Napster is a good program,








FOR ME TO P00P ON!!!

"multi-billion dollar company"

where in the universe do they get their $$ from???????

Remember, when MP3's are outlawed, only outlaws will have MP3s.

or

They can have my MP3's when they pry them out of my cold, dead hands.

Wow, I knew that NRA membership would pay off sometime....

Hmm... maybe I should add my 2 cents to this argument:

You're all wrong, people should get everything for free and never have to work, since this is happy fun land.

However, music should be outlawed completely, no one should ever be able to listen to any music.

!

Damnit, Napster seriously needs to die. Any idiot with an internet connection can get mp3's now, and that makes more publicity for it. I hate publicity, because then they will start cracking down on IRC and other means of getting mp3's. Napster is for retards.

FrO

if the listener is a true fan and wants to support the artist, than that listener will choose a licensed recording.

hahahahaha

This whole napster thing is silly. Why not charge people to download the music? If they setup incredibly fast servers that were always up and always fast and you could find your songs 24/7, I'd be willing to pay a nominal monthly fee to download all I want. Say $5/month and you can download 100 songs. More than that and they can charge more. Who downloads more than three songs per day (average)? Sure, there are people out there who download mp3s just because they can, but honestly, I've never grabbed anywhere near 100mp3s in a month's time.

Thoughts?

Insult me as you will, but deep down....you know....you too want to taste the forbidden fruit of eternal first post.


AND it's not like you NEED your soul.....

Yes, yes, behold the power I have over The Music Industry.

Although I will make a slight change....all adds will be links to a page with 200 pop up windows, all of which point to the main page at www.goatse.cx.

That explains why the RIAA's so fucked up. It's run by a WOMAN

* P M S ' D *

Religion is dead.

No, filming their honeymoon would not be evil. Filming the honeymoon of Rocky Martin and George Micheal....now THAT is more my speed.

It was a pleasure taking your soul for all the fame you desired. However, you must do me a favor. To prove how evil I am, I require that during your next tour, you wear a "Daikatana RULEZ!" tee shirt at every concert.

Do it, or your fame is forfeit.

Satan long time no see! Thanks for the fame and all. It's working out nicely.

Truly, I will concede that point to you God. I do miss that sweet angel ass. But, if anyone sells their soul to me, I will give them.....first post on every thread here. And a PC that will run Deus EX in max res will all options turned on.

What do YOU give them, except guilt over masturbation?

Dear Fucktard calling himself "TheGod" and "TheSatan":

Please confine that crap to the shitheap known as "First Post".

Thanks!

Download our CD off Napster! We support free music.

Hahaha, the RIAA is trying to portray itself as a good guy now. "Look at Napster, they're a big greedy company too, they got lawyers!"

Who needs pr0n? You think Angels wear clothes? Why do you think I kicked you and all the other male angels out of heaven? Jealous Fool!! And to think that you have tricked all of my children into thinking that heaven is a boring place filled with clouds and harps...

Hello music fans!

Recently, I have been taking time out to join together two of my favourite children, Britney Spears and WhiteyJustin Timberlake. The wedding is looking good, and I'm sure their offspring will bring you many, many more golden hits. Look for their child's first new album to be released 2 months after birth! It will be entitled "waah waah wah, baby!", be sure to pick it up!

Anyways, after thinking this all over in the bathroomcareful deliberation, I have decided that you, the music fan, should get a chance to listen to as much Savage Garden as you can on your own computer Nintendo thingies at home, over this Enternet. So, I've decided to allow imbedding of ads into our music. Sheer brilliance I tell you! I'm glad I thought of it first!

The first ad will picture you and I dear listener, in our loving arms and with arms wide open.

The second ad will feature hard core porno, to reach and appeal to music fans that otherwise would not listen to such good-for-you music as Jewel. What better way to listen to your favourite music than by whacking off to it? It's a guaranteed surefire hit!

Please accept our changes, as we are always listening to you, our music listeners. Take care! and remember...

Napster bad!
Your friends @ The Music Industry

God, the sheep here may not fall for ALL of my tricks, but I can offer them the one thing you can not:

The joy of unholy pr0n

Wonder when BOB will stop by and give us some slack?

Now I must go use my evil to link all DSL lines to AOL Servers, and then I will shut down Napster entirely.

I have a secret,
I see,
dead religions.

Lucifer! Your tricks hold no sway here! These people will not be fooled by your deceit!

HAHAHAHAHAHHA! You pathetic god! My evil has revealed your true nature, and now I reign supreme.

Imposter!!
