ain't crazy about it!

*With the stipulation* that said taper kept the tapes for
themself--when it became evident that the tapes were being distributed
wholesale, board taping was stopped.

Yeah, that's why I steal every chance I get.  No no no, it's a joke!  I
swear!  A joke...just a joke...:)

Unfortunately, I believe the majority of Napster users aren't indigent
music lovers but rather what I call "radio fans"--the only music they
like is what they hear on the radio so, of course, they're not going to
pay $14+ for a CD when they only want/like/have heard one song.  And I
doubt they'll pay the what? $60 fee? that is being suggested.  So once
the membership plan is implemented, I suspect that the music-sharing
sites will disappear.
