My philosophy on this subject....

Once you destroy a technology in the p2p industry another that is even greater will rise from the ashes, I mean with napster it was all music, none of this video stuff/app. I will make a prediction, that within the next year another great p2p will rise from the ashes, and will have methods to keeping the RIAA at bay. I personally am digging on this bittorrent thing, but it has its issues.

Very true, they can fuck off, and die... I mean if p2p was such an evil tool, why are there still CD's flying off the shelves? I mean p2p programs aren't hard to figure out... Any fucktard can do it...

Why doesn't the RIAA make a Pay-to-use service that has all their precious copyright-protected songs? They'd make a killing, and alot of people would use it, because it'd be a reliable(not to mention always fast) service.
Instead we get napster 2.0, and itunes music which has only a few million songs that all suck.

And now napster is just another cheap whore for the RIAA (the RIAA have been pinmps forever). The songs are only in Windows Media format. Here are the system requirements from the napster homepage:

"PC only, Windows XP/2000, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher, Windows Media Player 7.1 or higher, Internet connectivity"

Oh so now you NEED Windows? Hmmm, seems like a FTC violation here....
