if we really want to make the most of MP3s and 'free
music', just do what the radio dose.  Mp3.coms 10 a
month fee works, and so do adds, advertise in napster.
 i for one have bought several CDs of bands, bands i
would never have known about had it not been for
napster.  the record companies think they are all
that.  the only way they make money is if we buy the
music.  music should be free, it frees our minds,
spurs creativity.  im all for pete goin with bootlegs.
down with big record companies.  down with the labels.
