Unless you've been living in a Shtetl, you
know that Napster is one of the most revolutionary applications the internet. Basically,
Napster was akin to Tower Records offering a
complete giveaway of all their products. Napster was as close as a Jew could get
to the rush that must have been felt by participants in the
Rodney King Riots.
Take what you want. Whatever you can haul away is yours.
Of course the record labels couldn't stand to see their product flying out the window for free so they sued to shut Napster down. The irony was not lost on many: Many of these same artists who were preaching "free love and understanding" and held society's materialistic tendencies in contempt, were the first to lead the charge against Napster. And a funny thing happened on the way to the lawsuit...record sales went through the roof.
Any good Jew would tell you free is good. The question was "Is Napster a legal service or an infringement against copyright laws?" My answer is "look at public libraries. People still buy books, yet, if you think about it, you can get whatever book you want, (bestselling or otherwise,) from your local governmentally funded library. Why is Napster any different?"
The fact is, that Napster opened the door to
music by breaking down the barrier between the public and the record companies
catalogue. That progress cannot be stopped and that technological advancement
cannot be put back in the bottle. The record companies would be wise to view
Napster as a promotional tool and be thankful that sales have only increased.
Only a goyishe kupp would say that is bad for business.
