Fuck Napster. End Of Fucking Story.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: everyone in the world is a sellout:
‘With its fate hanging in the balance, Napster Inc. has floated a possible solution that could end its legal battle with the Recording Industry Association of America: Turn the free service into a pay service.’
(Read the entire article here, but believe me, there’s nothing else interesting in it.)
Fuck that shit. Can I get a show of hands as to how many people are going to PAY to use Napster? The cat’s already out of the bag, and not only that, but both the cat and the bag were free of charge. Say goodbye to our beloved Napster, people. It’s too bad that Macster is carbonized, too, because Napster will be dead before OSX even comes out. Give me one reason to think otherwise, and I’ll gladly listen. But for right now, as long as the courts and the RIAA agree to this ‘pay-to-play’ bullshit, Napster is as good as dead to me. I’ll have to get that god-damned, slow-as-shit Gnutella working on my Mac.
