Some of the most faithful Napster supporters believe that copyright laws harm their freedom. I believe that they are unavoidable. If they did not exist, too many people would rip others off. I know that cold truth is not fashionable or politically correct, but allow me to remind you that profits are legal, as long as you respect the law. Companies have a bad name even when they do not break the law, since most of us hold negative prejudices against them.
Music labels boast all the power.
Such people will also attempt to convince governments that something is wrong with copyright laws. This is a dubious way to call for transformations since diminishing the strength of copyright acts could greatly affect weaker organizations and individuals who do not have the deep pockets of the RIAA and major labels when having to defend themselves at crunch time. Napster's position Napster wanted to get away with breaking the law, which I find unacceptable, and it soon found out that nobody is above laws. New toys and intelligent file sharing systems can make copyright laws look obsolete, but they are not about to break the concept of copyright protection. If you doubt this statement, just follow the news and see how the courts will crack down on anybody who challenges them.
