: : Napster is fucking unconstitutional and lame and I hope it dies quickly.
: What I can't understand about you Yanks is the fact that most of you can't grasp the concept of the constitution is supposed to be a LIVING document. It supposed to be opened to change and alterations as times change. It's not some sacred tome of knowledge and wisdom that can't be touched. It was created by different people with different values in a different time... How can it all still be perfect?
: Well, it's not. (Right To Bear Arms, anyone?)
: So maybe form soem personal opinions on why Napster is wrong, instead of claiming that the government knows whats right and wrong, what should be legal and what isn't. Because most of the time, they're flawed just like everything else...
:
: Personally, I think Napster is slightly positive. It has negative aspects, but it helps up-and-coming acts find an audience. If millionaire bands need to lose a few thousand bucks for this to happen, then so be it.
: Just because its capitolism, doesn't mean the fatcats always have to win.
: Take THAT!
: (PS: I'm not a communist. I like capitolism, really. Don't rat on me to the feds, comrade!)
