when i buy music, it's either a cassette or cd
i know there are other ways to get music, especially over the internet...for free
i am an old fogee, so be patient, how does one get music on the net legally?
napster might have got slapped down, but so many people, i would say most people, seem to side with him and against the record companies
i personally think the record companies charging what they do and ripping off the artists make them crooks...but does that make it right to steal music off the internet?
and having studied labor law and knowing something about law in general, and having been a musician and in high tech... i think there might be a level of stealing going on even though there are not "laws" to back up the side of the record companies
just like computer hardware companies thought that software was worth passing over and got reamed for it, lawyers never saw the power of the internet or commerce on computers all hooked up together
