Hi Surf,

This is a real problem for us for sure. I haven't totally read all the in's and out's about it, but it will definitely put a damper on a nice lil career like mine. As I read about the Napster program, I first looked at it kinda like a weapon. The weapon will only do harm if you make it. So why go after the software company? But, there should be restrictions on the program that apparently aren't there, and for that, they should be drilled with a power drill all over their bodies starting with their most sensitive organ, and the same followed by a soldering iron to the consumer that put the artist's CD on-line!

Ok, that may be a bit harsh......but for artists like lil Danny D, every lil CD sold is a plus and though I may never be a superstar, it will no longer allow me to put out any music for those that enjoy what I do. We live in a corrupt society and stuff like this will always plague us unless the fans try to help us out by not supporting this! Hopefully the Metallica guys and record companies and all the others involved will have some say being that they can afford top attorneys to fight this issue. If nothing gets done, everyone will suffer in the long run and that of course will destroy the industry. I heard some stories of a few artists we all know and love having their discs on there and I was told you can't even track the person doing it unless they're on-line, and even then it's hard as hell. We have to hope and pray that this comes to an end, or music will definitely fall by the wayside and guys like me will cease to exist. It's so sad.......
