Man I miss those days when Napster was free! Unlimited access to my favorite songs 24/7. I finally got around to paying for the service last week - man is it expensive these days! A dollar a song download ): I guess, as always, I miss those good ole days of yesterday. Anybody else miss free Napster?

I remember. I remember the big controversy too.
I used WinMX, one of the file-sharing sites. Yep, those were the days.
I can see the point of the artists though. I wouldn't like it if someone downloaded my pictures for free and passed them around the internet to whoever wanted them and I didn't make a cent.
I guess $1/song is comparable to what you'd pay for a CD. What kills me is ringtones! They can run 2-3 times more than the whole song!

I do remember when Napster was free. I loved it. I was on there all the time searching for new songs. It was so much fun. I burned a lot of cds from it. I remember Metallica sued people for downloading songs off there. I understand from the bands viewpoint though so its not like I could get mad at them. I dont download songs to my computer at all anymore I worry about getting viruses.
