Advantages: Free music

Disadvantages: Is it really free in the long run!?

I think the idea behind napster is great. Provideo people with a means to distribute MP3s to one another and then wipe your hands of the legal issues attached to what they've done. I'm not going to labour the point but it's interesting, that's all!

The product is great, it's a sweat way of getting what you want, no arguements there.

What I want to know is how long will the product last? It's being attacked by the industry left-right and centre and it's only a matter of time before something gices. I wonder if it'll be IP addresses. You do all know that each session is logged, right!?!

Every time you download what you're downloading the system reports back to the main central system what you're doing. In effect when you move something from A to B there's a log somewhere saying 123.123.123.123 copied song A from 200.200.200.200 on 10/10/99 at 19:35:34.09.

Personally I'd be a little more paranoid.
