[ManaMan]

<div style='font: 12pt Helvetica, Modern; text-align: left; '>seriously</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>Blah. I still think that Napster didn't break any copyright issues.</div>

[Gentz]

<div style='font: 9pt arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>Heh. Do they honestly believe they're going to organize a march made up of people too lazy to even go out and buy CDs?</div>

[Red Eye]

<div style='font: 14pt Draconwick, Modern; text-align: left; '>AH HA HA HA!!! Good point.</div>

[New and Improved Zeus]

<div style='font: 10pt "Arial bold", Modern; text-align: left; '>It's not a debatable issue, they did</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>Bullshit. You tell me the difference between an FTP client and Napster.</div>

[Oracle]

<div style='font: bold 12pt "Comic Sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>They're both equally illegal to DL Mp3s from, Napster was huge, Napster could be targeted....</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>Popularity does not suddenly change the law.</div>

[WolfSamurai]

<div style='font: 14pt Agatha, Modern; text-align: left; '>An FTP client had other, legal, uses. Napster was solely designed to trade mp3s.</div>

[Torgo]

<div style='font: 9pt Arial, Modern; text-align: left; '>But it did call attention to the fact that it broke copyright laws.</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>Yes, Napster was made to trade MP3s, but you sound like MP3 is an illegal format or something. It's simply an encoding for sound waves. Napster is simply a method of trading these MP3s. The content of them can be legal or illegal. The responibility of this is the person trading them, not the device that help it out.</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>Jesus! Blame the right goddamn people! We don't sue Netscape because people get warez for their browsers. We don't sue Hotline because it's mostly used to trade warez. What about people with FTP servers? The sole purpose is to trade files, right? Most of them are warez, right? Let's sue those companies, too. It's not the client's responsibility to regulate the content of the files being transferred; it's the people trading the files.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Verdana, Tahoma, Modern; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>They never would have been able to do it wthout Napster. Give it up Sine, I don't think anyone here likes it, but Napster was designed to break copyright law.</div>

[G-man Joe]

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>And I enjoyed it like a silent thief in a rich blind man's house.</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", Modern; text-align: left; '>Yeah, and I would have been able to get my copy of UT without a CD burner. What's your point?</div>

[Kupek]

<div style='font: 10pt Verdana, Tahoma, Modern; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Sometimes I think your inability to get points is almost willful. It has to do with the purpose and the main use. With very few exceptions, Napster was used to trade copyrighted music with great ease.</div>

[Kupek]

<div style='font: 10pt Verdana, Tahoma, Modern; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Pretty much.</div>

[New and Improved Zeus]

<div style='font: 10pt "Arial bold", Modern; text-align: left; '>That's not why Napster was sued and lost. Go to Ruminations</div>
