Well, as most of you heard, this could be Napsters last weekend of running as we know it. I think that it's lame how the record companies can't work with Napster rather than against it. They're fucking greedy bastards. They complain about people using Napster instead of buying their cds, when their cd sales have risen. If they want more people to buy their cds, why not DROP the price of them rather than keeping their prices going up, when it doesn't cost much to make them and the artists themselves, don't see much from the sales. It's going right in their fucking pockets.
ANYWAYS, the point about this thread is to see what you guys are gonna use or are using when Napster goes down.
I might jump on Napigator -
http://www.napigator.com which looks nice, it uses different servers out there including Opennap which I hear that the record labels have sent letters to, but there's no word on wether or not their gonna close down. If you look at their server list, it looks like there's a LOT of available files on there. Have any of you ever used this ??? Please let me know.
Then there's Bear Share
http://www.bearshare.com which looks decent, but I haven't heard much on that either.
Well guys, let me know what you plan on doing. I hope that the record companies have a neverending battle on their hands with the trading programs out there, he he. I think that they opened a can of worms by getting Napster shut down. Which will teach them a lesson. They should've tried to work with Napster instead of against it. It'll be interesting to see what happens with this.
