Subject: RE: what can replace napster
When you talk about business, which, unfortunately, music is, morality is not a driving force--

At any rate, I pay too much money out of pocket for you to ever convince me that I am getting anything for free--In addition to the money that I pay for CD's and shows, I pay up to $50 per month for this damned, slow, internet connection (server fees plus a hefty overtime fee if I exceed my monthly limit) and a phone connection charge--

I am more inclined to think that if things were a bit more fair, a part of the the money that goes to Verizon and company ought to be divided among those who create and provide the content that I am accessing on the internet--

When you think about it, we all pay for everything we view or download on the internet, it is just that all the money goes to the carriers, and not to the content providers--
