Musical artists condemn Napster: (Salon)

"Artists are already at war with corporate mentality at record labels. They piss on us on a daily basis. But to add Napster's blatant music piracy to the battle is unbelievable. Three or four years ago I looked at the Internet as a viable alternative to the major label plantation system, where artists would end up owning masters at the end of your careers. But if the price you pay is to never make any money, well, that's a sad twist. And it turns out Napster's no better than the record companies. In fact they're worse, because they're offering nothing and taking everything."
