Re: [microsound] napster shut down

[rebecca263 <rebecca263@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've never been one for the Napster thing, but I wonder if it's possible to
truly and completely shut down  free exchange of ANY ideas, be they in a
sound or video format, entertainment or otherwise. Free exchange of ANY
information can be stifled and made to be clandestine and difficult to
achieve, but impossible? I think not.



i'm not an MP3 listener/collector.. and while i don't care too much
about copyright laws .. i could really care less about the napster
thing.. it hasn't affected me.. although i assume it's a blow for
music piraters around the world..
