That is The Question. Id like people to do the following questions. 1. whats your opinion on it? 2. Hurt/help record sales? 3. What does it do for upcoming/new artists. 4. reach new people? Let me know. As this is a big topic these days. |

It hurts big time musicians because most of them only have one song that everyone knows. So instead of buying the whole brittany spears or eminem album, they can just download one song. But for the musicians we are all fans of, it definately helps. For instance, you guys let me in on boards of canada, and plaid. I downloaded a couple of there songs, dug them, and now im ordering 2 cds of each. |

i think it depends on the user.. i have so many mp3s but i have bought over 100 cds in the past two years (no joke) and i may get a couple tracks from a cd, but i usually purchase it at a point in the future..it also helps to get stuff thats very hard to get a hold of |

Well i agree with both of you really. I use it to get shit I cant normally...I have also bought many cds in the time I have had Napster on my computer. |

yeah, and i mean the sales on cds have went up over the past year, so this napster taking money from cd sales stuff is lies! |

Ross: yeah see thats what I though too. I think its stupid as shit, to let the music companies "own" the music. I mean obvioulsy they do, but they shouldn't like they are... cause its just not fair to have them take control over the music we listen to. It should be for everyone, i think that eventually napster [or napster kind of programs] are going to be the wave of the future for music listening/sampling or what have you.. the record companies/groups that complain are just fucking babies and won't admit/change to the ways of the new. NAPSTER GO! |

Yeah man..it's time we took something back..ive gave heaps of money to record labels, hmv charges me $25 + tax for basically anything electronic (so i go downtown and get it if i can) i wouldve never discovered so many bands i liked if it werent for napster.. |

Ross: NO SHIT!.. ive been in Vancouver sooo many times. I know what its like for that shit there. Here in Edmonton, as you can guess its no Different. HMV charges like fucking 30 dollars sometimes for certain cds. Which is BULLSHIT!. So I can use Napster, or go to Whyte Ave [its like "the strip"] and I can go to places like SOnix/Blackbird and shit which are local Cd shops.. used and new and shit. And its cheaper there.. and you can get bootlegs too. But over all i would have never found out about so many artists [which I have bought cds of] that I would have normally never ever heard in the first place! |

I just think it's great there are people out there willing to share music so people can hear what they might not be able to if they were to the record store. It opened up listening to BoC, Autechre, and all of you unsigned people on aphextwin.nu... really cool stuff, all of it. If I could all buy it on some form of recording I'd do it. |

I say its lush to suck everyone and everything dry if your in the position to do so. Its great to take things without paying for them. Especially great music like The Aphex Twin's himself. And food too. I cant remember the last time I paid for a meal. Heck, I'm stealing my cable connection thats allowing me to surf so radically through the net even as I speak. And as for the bearded chipmunk making a buck off me, my motto: "I dont give a fuck because you dont give a shit." => |

oohhh a little bit of everything here.. Well I mean sure I like shit to be free. and granted ive stolen in my life before.. lots. But not anymore... and yet i don't find NAPSTER to be stealing anyting. goddamn... I mean give me a break. Im not going to just NOT use it becuase iam potentionally ripping of an artist.. first off if they cared that much they would send in their name and shit to Napster and go through the process to make their songs unavailable.. like have you ever typed in Dr. Dre lately? [i don't like him at all but hes soooooo popular on napster, same with eminem] you can't find shit! and before you could find EVERYTHING so easily. now there is nothing.. so if the artist themself cared enough they would go through the legal process of getting their songs off of there immediatly. If not whatever.. Im going to get your shit for free! And besides like Ive stated before along with many other avid AFX fans, I buy his stuff when Its there to buy at the local shops and such, until the cds are available in my city, and not priced at like 45 dollars a cd, then my friends, im on Napster. [ive bought a bunch of AFX stuff too] |

I have to confess, some days a chilli dinner, an unwatched episode of stargate sg1 and box of chocolate orange matchmakers beats most things. |
