Anderton Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 http://www.msnbc.com/news/808587.asp?0dm=T13IT This truly sucks. Shawn Fanning was just a music fan who wanted to start something for other music fans. The record industry, instead of seeing the wave of the future, tried to suppress it. Bertelsmann couldn't figure out internally how to deal with it. Everyone loses, PARTICULARLY the record companies, because something that GOT PEOPLE EXCITED ABOUT MUSIC was killed. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

RobT Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Figures. Porn is one of the few market ideas that actually makes money on the web. I think we all would rather see that bandwidth and name recognition to further music on the internet. oh well ...

freddynl Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 This is weird. I get spammed already for a couple of months by a site called napster porn is here. I did not save these mails as I use a filter in my mail software which automaticly sends this kind of advertisements into the box called spam. As soon as I get one in again, will cheque or this is the same. In which case it proves that the user adresses were really sold. I actually thought that the Napster guys had sold the adresses from the registered users who subscribed when the question was asked are you willing to pay for downloads if Napster continues. This must have been approx a 18 month's ago. weird.. :confused: gigging favorites at the moment LP Special order 1973 and PRS custom 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisDude Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 What about the children???!!!?? Seriously though, there's going to be a lot of hits from kids and old people who are just looking for music. Old folks are notoriously behind the times. There are zoning laws which forbid adult entertainment est. from being within x# miles of churches or schools. Should there be restrictions on domain names like [url=http://www.sesamestreeet.com]www.sesamestreeet.com[/url] or something with strong name recognition like napster :confused: ?

Anderton Posted September 18, 2002 Author Share Posted September 18, 2002 <> You're clearly confused. Just because the music business is obscene doesn't mean it's been taken over by the porn industry.
