RE: Killing Napster and beyond...

["Harris, Tim" <tharris () ocair com>]

The problem with Napster and similar programs (such as Real Audio) is that
some companies have relatively small pipes (I have a T1) for a large number
of users.  I care less that they are going to sites than that they are
clogging up my precious bandwidth.  It takes very few people listening to
Real Audio feeds before performance dies.  We are buying the bandwidth to
facilitate business operations.  If they want to listen to music, they
should buy a radio or a CD player.
