Rip Mix Burn Steal
After a dramatic federal court ruling that has shut Napster down, will have an effect on sharing music files on the internet. Napster has been one of the hottest sites on the internet in the last eighteen months, with more than fifty million users. Napster allows anyone with a CD burner to and a modem to download free music and burn it to a CD. The main purpose or as it seems, is to avoid the cost of new CD’s. But some argue that it has different uses. Some musicians say that it allows them to get their music out to the public by avoiding the record companies. Others say they use it to hear a group’s music before they buy their CD. While others say that it is stealing. That it keeps musicians from making money off of their music. Which also keeps record companies from making money. Plus, it also takes sales away from record stores.
