my mind goes back to an article i read somewhere, probably here or something.
anyway remember how metallica were all against napster and everything? well in this article the guitarist of metallica said he used to go round to the drummer's house and copy tapes from the drummer cos he couldnt afford the tapes himself...
perhaps im being naive but isnt this what the masses are doing now? us poor peeps download the music cos we cant afford £16 an album
oh and as for banning firewalls... "only in america!"
