So think about it. > I'd have to agree with Cyclone, as someone that works within the copyright industry, it is very important that artists (workers) have the right to say no, but more importantly to right to say yes. Napster had created a situation where the choice was non existent.
Some artists have been signed from places becausee they could market their sound thru Napster, which is great. Why should a Lil Louis (an extremely important figure for house and techno music) not be given a choice about whether his work should be prostituted around. I'm all for disempowering money hungry mass marketing record labels. But what about artists. Ps.: the majority of Lil Louis tracks are not that hard to find - to find gold you have to dig - that's half the fun. Rc
