Re: MP3, Copyright, Napster - what do you think? I think that MP3's are fine. They are like anything else. Only bad if tehy are abused. I think the guys in Ketallica shoiuld quit wining. We made them millionaires. We do not owe them anything. They owe us, the fans. I feel as long as people are not downloading the mp3's annd selling them there isno problem. Do we sue the inventors of radio or tape recorders. Last time I checked it ws not illegal to record songs off the radio either.

: Sharing music is the latest craze since MP3. Do you feel that any sharing of music files is a violation of copyright laws?
Does recording a song of the radio. No
: Does the Napster software infringe on artists, labels and publishers copyrights?No only trhe people who abuse napster.

: The RIAA has accused Napster of not only facilitating, but encouraging the unlawful exchange of copyrighted music. Do you agree?

: Metallica & Dr. Dre have joined the RIAA in filling suits against Napster. Should independent artists be concerned with the popularity of music sharing sites?
