Silly, just as with books, the RIAA is going to have to come to terms with
technology.  Books that are not printed on paper, but that are being distributed
via the net are being offered at greatly reduced rates.

The RIAA knows that this is the future, but they are bucking it as long as
possible because there are so many pockets that are filled along the way to the
record shelf.
Using the net skips so many middlemen, which in turn, keeps the price low.

If the RIAA would encourage the development of a music distribution system where
music could be purchased online for a very small sum, Napster would not be as
popular.

But, soon we will all replace our CDRWs with ultra high capacity disks of the
recordable DVD system.  Players will also be recorders, and they will connect to
your current stereo system/ Sat TV system.   All those digital channels coming
in from space will allow you and I to record digital copies of current music
right on to your DVD.

And, Im not even talking about the future changes in your local radio stations!
Coming soon to a TV / Radio station near you: DIGITAL EVERYTHING!

Napster is just a minor bug in the bagel of the greedy entertainment industry.
RIAA and all the low life connected to it had better get ready to do what the
rest of America's industries have done-make it cheaper, faster, better.
