You're assuming that just because someone downloads an .mp3 of a song that
he or she intends on "stealing" the song. That's crap. I have bought more
music since I began using Napster than before. Using Napster helps you to
decide exactly what you want to have. We all know audio CDs sound better
than .mp3s. Listening to .mp3s is like listening to the radio, except you
have more control over what you hear. There will ALWAYS be people who copy
songs with illicit intentions, no matter what format they are in. But when
it all shakes out, Napster is a boon to the music industry.

Sure storage as ones and zeros make it easy to steal someone else's
work. But just because we can do something doesn't mean we should.
Thoughts?
