you are probably right, I for one don't have a credit card and I'm certainly
not planning to get one. It's also impossible to order traditional records
abroad without a credit card, though.
One problem with credit cards is security. It's still awfully easy for a
skilled hacker to get credit card info from companies who use "absolutely
secure" javascript-forms.
But back to Napster trial. I think that record industry makes a mistake of
grand size if they win the case and Napster will be shut down.
There will always be new Napsters. Napster and other Internet-based music
solutions raise a threat to the music monopoly that record companies and
radio stations have built. The monopoly produces, advertises and sells only
the kind of music that is considered highly profitable, which in most cases
is boring and unimaginative.
"Fuck credit cards!"
"Viva la resistance!"
