Napster Confusion
If you want to know the honest-to-god truth, I’m kinda sick of covering Napster items. But this article I had to comment on….
‘…Napster is essentially a criminal organization that exists to help people steal. Now the question is, is there a legal use of Napster?’
Of course not, you buffoon. Jesus. The problem here is not with Napster being illegal, but with the copyright laws in the first place. Napster wouldn’t be illegal if it WEREN’T ILLEGAL. Get it? It shouldn’t be illegal.
This part of the story is the best: ‘Hollywood sued Sony over the VCR, a home-recording technology, alleging it would illegally cut into their profits’ Now, did you NOT know that the VCR is a home-recording technology? How stupid do you guys over at ABCNews.com think we are, anyway?
(By the way…the bolding of the section of that quote in the last paragraph was added by me…also, I specifically tried not to use the word ‘fuck’ in this post, seeing as how 7 of the last 10 posts contained some usage of it, usually more than once. As you can see, it would have fit nicely right into the ‘you buffoon’ statement above. But, I stopped myself, all for you dedicated readers.)
