This from one of the largest COMMODITIES available in the record
industry... although ya gotta respect their hard work... 

I tend to feel that it's going to promote music to more people than
hurt them... The biggies might find a dent in their wallets... I agree
with Larry that with download time, fidelity, and available players,
that Napster is sort of like a listening station at a record store.
Great to get a feel for the artist, but getting the cd gets you the
real deal with art, packaging and hi-fi...

> oh my, maybe this is the end of the music industry as we know it.

One can hope... the INDUSTRY totally sucks wind...
