MY VIEW Clint is a senior in computer information systems. Read his previous columns . However, a combination of writer's block, Mountain Dew and a sudden sense of self-worth made me think I could shed some light onto the issue of Napster with an admittance followed by an accusation. First, the admittance. Napster is, in effect, an extended group of friends from whom one would have simply dubbed a tape before.
Necessity is said to be the mother of invention.
Thus, the appeal of Napster for college students. Now for the accusation. Metallica is, unequivocally and undeniably, hypocritical. The band that once preached angst and rebellion is now hiding behind big brother, pointing fingers at the fans that first took the band from obscurity to stardom. I still am unsure as to how they took the leap.
