I attempted to edit the promotion section of this article to explain that recorded music sales dropped 50 from the inception of Napster and its progeny in 1999 through 2009 but it was reverted out by several Wikibullies who do not want that fact set forth I also disputed the use of the term sharing which is a misnomer Sharing is a computer concept whereby a network of computers share access so that computer A can access a file on computer B but the file remains resident on computer B Copying is a simple concept whereby the file on computer B is copied to computer B Napster was designed to facilitate copying but the proponents of Napster called it sharing for propaganda purposes since the unauthorized copying of a copyrighted work is a civil and criminal offense and morally wrong Sharing sounds like something your elementary school teacher wanted you to do If you share a sandwich the other person eats half of your sandwich If you log onto a so called file sharing system the other person copies your song but you keep your copy too The Courts held that Napster was a giant copyright infringement However it was very popular and still has many proponents on Widipedia who still insist on calling it sharing and don t want the fact that their sharing wiped out the music industry and a lot of recording arists with it because that makes them immoral people Now they add CENSORSHIP to their bad acts
