I must I would love for this to happen. A 10-15 a month for unlimited
downloads of high quality rips. But I don't think it will happen. I think
Napster will become a centralized ( as in the music resides on their
servers) in the WMA format. Will people pay for that? Perhaps. have I
used Napster? yeah I have but since become a member of BMG music club I
don't find music all that expensive. Should we still be able to share
music like you use do with say bootleg cassette and the such. yeah. Will
it happen? Who knows, The RIAA is a powerful lobby and Congress listens to
money and power.
I must also say I never liked AudioGalaxy. i found out about the spyware
and that turned me away from it even more. It is Spyware that I think will
be the biggest problem with the on-line experience as a whole. Yet no one
cares that this little .dll connects to a server and gives it info. The
worst thing I hear people say when I tell them this is: "They don't
care/want what is on my hard drive".
Oh well I'll get off my bandwagon now. I have Earthlink to complain about
next hour.
