Has anyone ever done a statistical breakout of pop fluff cloned off Napster (Britny, Witny, InZinc, etc.) vs. the sort of exotic stuff most people have mentioned? Different issues, it seems to me. If people want the Top Ten, they should buy the Top Ten. That way they could get the fetching photo as well. But one would think there must be a way to differentiate. On the other hand, if the Napsterer only wants the HIT (because the rest of the album is rehash or crapola), maybe there isn't. Maybe there's some sort of inverse correlation: the more one Napstered, the less..oh, bother.
Here's one for free: thanks, Ed.
And a purely gratuitous note: I generally do OK with interaction with real people. Whoever they are.
