Advantages: Get music
Disadvantages: At th costof the artists
Napster has been around for some time now and will probably turn into a “Pay-Per-Download site” very soon, and good ridden, I say. Napster is illegal! The Napster and MP3 revolution is ripping of the industry and giving the people whose music that you listen to less and less incentive to carry on. Many people may say that these pop artists are getting too much money anyway, but more money in the industry would give record companies more availability to get net talent, that’s what we want, which is being proved by the people who visit Napsters site. So, basically Napster allows, and yes I do agree it’s a masterpiece of software engineering, the user to download any MP3 music file that they want very quickly, for free, enabling CD music prices to sore further. This type of software is doing the industry no good, and if it carry’s on we will either pay sky high prices for over manufacture music, or nothing new will be created, its up to you As you can see, my opinion is that it shouldn’t be free, no way. People are creating this music, so that they can make a decent living for themselves, that’s what’s it all about. So if you want music either buy it down the shop, like most normal people and stop ruining the earnings of producers……

- 27/04/02 I couldn't agree more - it is not just the artist that takes a cut - it is the producer, the writer, the album designer... These sites are illegal, they breach coptright and no matter whether you think that you should get something for nothing you can't.
Unles s everybody waives there copyright this type of site has no place on the web.
I can't believe this category is up here! |
