Subject: RE: what can replace napster
I also think that capitalism fuels the use of this amazing technology. But ultimately I believe that using one's gifts to build a computer, or paint a picture or write a piece of music is a gift from God.(You know, that Puerto Rican lesbian person!!!)

Capitalists use our amazing technology to find better and better ways of getting something of value for as small an investment as possible. The dominant culture does not seek to fight napster because it is immoral but because it affects profits, I'm afraid.
