In other news..... "Napster" is coming back
« on: February 25, 2003, 03:30:40 PM »
Yay, look something other than Iraq, North Korea, French people, war.... etc

(AP) - Napster, the pioneering online music service, is getting another lease on life with the launch by year\'s end of a legal, subscription-based music business, its new owners said Monday. Roxio Inc., which bought Napster\'s name and intellectual property for $5 million at a November bankruptcy sale, said it is in discussions with the five major music labels to provide content for the online service.

I think he\'s talking about Napster, not your posting efforts.

The problem is that the RIAA\'s definition of "nominal fee" and any sane, rational human\'s definition are two different things.  They don\'t mind selling you the MP3 at some absurd price, but even then it has to have some technology built in that prevents you from copying it... basically prevents you from taking advantage of the main thing that\'s made mp3s so useful.  The ability to move it to other storage mediums, move it to a CDR you can play in your car, move it to you portable mp3 walkman... etc etc.  The record companies still don\'t get it.

I can\'t wait to see what the "new" Napster\'s pricing structure will be.  It will probably be a disaster.

Problem with these fee based programs are that only certain record labels will be on them. So, you really won\'t be able to get the songs you want, which sucks. :crap:
