Napster Doesn't make money for the people who run it. Do you see any advertisements? NO. They make there money by getting hired to do other jobs and they get payed big time. Napster gave these guys a name and put it out there. Now everybody wants to use them for something. That's where they get there money. If they actually made a penny directly from napster say from ads then there is no way the judge would have been kind enough to allow napster to stay up. There arguments would have meant dirt because everybody would see that they would be using napster out of plain greed like the record companies greed. Also I would never buy most of the songs albums I downloaded anyway. there just one hit wonders. But when I find good stuff I'll buy the CD. I dicovered terry bozzio's music and I'm going to buy some of his cd's. I would have never known about his own albums if I didn't search his name on napster and get to hear what he does.
Feelings on Napster?
Hi, Since this is in part a forum about music, I'll put this statement and question on the table. In the past few months, I've begun to use Napster online. I'll look through the forum for reccomendations on good albums and tracks, then I'll download it on Napster, take a listen and, if I like it, purchase the album. My opinion is that Napster is really opening up accessibility to music for alot of people, allowing them to try new things that before they wouldn't have access to or simply wouldn't be prepared to invest in. It's helped expand my own horizons I know and I think it's good for music overall. Any opinions?
