Good news

January 29, 2001 by Michael Boyle

from the music world – we’ll probably start paying for Napster in June. I think it’s good news because I have never been able to reconcile the fact that although I love Napster’s service, I also make money doing freelance work for which I expect to be paid – quite like musicians do. That hasn’t stopped me from using Napster, but I did draw a line in the sand (and I realize that it’s a BS line I drew, but anyhow) and never downloaded whole albums to burn, for example. With hope the rate will be affordable enough to be accepted by the masses of Napster users.
