you cant register as a new customer? really?
I was wondering about how napster was going to implement this pay as you
download system on people who had already installed the software, but that
seems to have been dropped (officially napster say "We will continue to work
for a resolution that preserves the Napster community and the file sharing
experience") for the moment in favour of this system where artists complain
and they then get blocked via the search (yet you can evade this by cutting
names short or mispelling them).
this is really stupid of napster to block people because already numbers
have dropped in the community. Tonight looking at my console stats they're
are on average 8574 people on line with napster. Now this is saturday night
(12.20 here in france) so what middle of the day in america? the busiest
time normally on napster. before the courtcase on a busy night they're would
have been about 13000 at this time.
if napster are going to block people, those who have'nt already gone over to
an alternative such as limewire are going to change fast and all new
potential users will not even consider napster. the money system might come
in, who knows, but if things continue the way they are going, in 6 months
napsters community will be sparse!
