RE: Napster
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As we all know Napster is dead. Fine with me as a network like this
with a central server, sharing items of questionable copywrite is
doomed.
I recommend gnutella. They can’t kill the gnutellanet. Get it from
There’s generaly not too many full CD’s I can’t get MP3’d from this
method. Distributed networks… the future.

Regarding the I Wanna Be Sedated cover: There is a cover of the song by
the Offspring that has been circulating labeled as a VF cover. I don’t
know how the mistake originated but that’s probably what those who
wrote about it have.

To all of you wondering about the “Sedated” cover on Napster…This
cover was done by Offspring, and I think Pat is right about her “Stab
in the dark” theory” cause I’ve seen that done quite a bit.
I hope this puts everyone at ease again.

Yes, some of the napster downloads are mistitled that is for sure.
They had Nina Hagen supposedly singing 99 luft balloons. Well the
artist that did that song was Nena. Anyone who would get those two
confused has hearing problems. But I am still upset that napster is
being shut down. Some of the files I have are from CDs that are out of
print, so it is impossible to buy these songs or I would.

-Pat. Says: Shutting down Napster will not solve what the music
industry perceives to be a problem. I never even checked
out napster until last week, when I knew it was going to
be shut down. I’ve been getting my mp3’s from other places.
And even if all the US sites are shut down, which I doubt
because there are so many, there are all the other sites
all over the world which are not subject to US laws, and
which everyone can access because the internet knows no
borders. If you ask me, this is all like shutting the barn
doors after the horse has already escaped. Why didn’t
anyone try to block the manufacture of cd burners for mass
consumption? Or the programs which convert mp3 to wav?
Figuring out the result of these two things is a
no-brainer. If these people couldn’t have anticipated the
natural progression of things, they have no one but
themselves to blame.
Another thing: before there were CD burners, I made
compilation tapes instead of CD’s. That never stopped me
from buying CD’s, and neither has the existence of mp3
sites. I usually just use mp3 sites to download “that one
song” by an artist whose cd I know damn well I’d never buy
anyway. I did download one complete album, but that only as
an experiment to see if I could do it; I was just trying
out my burner.

The femmes cover another Ramones song. Acutally I think the Ramones
may be covering the song. But, it is definitely done the Ramones
way. Sort of like most of Rock!!!!.
The song is called Chinese Rocks. I have it on the Machine single.
It’s a cool rendition because Gordon is laughing his way through a lot
of it and screwing up the chord progression here and there.
