Actually i can almost guarantee that newsgroups over thier entire lifetime
have had more copyrighted material downloaded from them than napster ever
has. they were going very very strong when i was in college, and this was
in '92, and i know they were around a long long time before i noticed them.
so over both thier life span's i seriously doubt that the amount of audio
only transfered by napster comes close to news services.
