Simply put, the
RIAA hates
Napster because we are able to
sample music before we
buy it!
Before
mp3s were
easily obtained, many people would hear a few songs that they liked on the radio by a certain
artist, and then
pick up the album. This was great for the
record companies because they only needed to put, at most, 3 good songs on any given
album. People would
blindly pay for more than 10 tracks that
sucked. The RIAA is pissed off because they are no longer able to dupe us into buying
crap!
