So no CDR for me, then
The ruling was expected, but the judge gave Napster the responsibility for removing songs that were identified by the recording industry as copyrighted, even if the music companies did not know the exact names of all of the files in Napster’s system that contained the songs. From the IHT.
We don’t even know all the songs we own, but you better take ’em off… GOD, I hate the music industry. What’s worse is that Napster doesn’t even HAVE any songs… they make it seem like Napster is just distributing songs left and right… Like there’s MP3s on their servers or something. Jesus. Oh, and what about when tech-retarded reporters refer to Napster as a ‘website?’ That almost makes me laugh until I remember that these reporters are getting paid to write that BS. Isn’t a website defined as hypertext documents accessed over the http protocol? And isn’t Napster its own protocol? Stupid fucking press. Once the baby-boomers all die, I hope GenX and whoever else can succeed in tearing down these monopolies based on the distribution of information.. the music industry, the news ‘reporting’ corporations.. all of it. I’m starting to sound like Marx here, but damn. I’m just getting sick of this capitalist result of corporations controlling not only what we buy and what we eat, but what we know, who we know.. the whole damn thing. Down with capitalism! Ha. As I sit here about to go pick up my $4000 laptop computer that will help me earn my capitalist-pig dollars so I can pay for my capitalist-pig car and apartment. *sigh* Someday, I swear…
