I just don't see Napster affecting it that much since most people don't even know Journey has a new cd!!!! This isn't Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears or Matchbox 20---this is a group that for all practical purposes has been dead since 1986.

If you are talking about one of the small acts, I can see where Japan might affect it, but let's look at the numbers here. Journey board.....maybe 500 people. Maybe a couple of thousand that visit here. We are talking 2500 people at most here. When you have a band planning on selling somewhere near 1,000,000 copies of the cd, 2500 is nothing.
