For those who did not know, this may interest you:

[the following is an excerpt from the Napster news service]

*********************************************
How You Can Support Napster

Thanks for being a member of the Napster community and for the support you have shown. As you have probably heard, the RIAA won a court battle this week that may keep you from using Napster to share music files as of Friday at midnight Pacific time. Please keep using Napster between now and then. We'll know more about the potential shutdown shortly, and we'll keep you informed.

We're getting a lot of questions about what people can do to help. Here are three things you can do right away.

1. Write the heads of the major record companies and tell them you are their best customers - loyal and active music fans -- and that you don't want them to kill Napster. Here's a link to their emails: http://www.napster.com/labels.html.

2. Show the companies your power. We're calling for a two-day "buy-cott" this weekend. Support the artists (found here: http://www.napster.com/buycott.html) who support Napster by going out and buying their CDs. Be sure to let the record store know you came from Napster.

3. Keep coming back. We'll keep you informed as time goes on.
*********************************************


Yep, that means you all better get as many song as you can today.

I did not post this to open a point of debate, I merely want to let those know who use Napster to cram now, hehe. It is going to be your last chance.

I found a boycott thing against the RIAA last night that you could sign, and saying that you would or would not buy CDs until they let Napster go again. And it also asked how many cds on average do you buy in 6 months. I personally signed this and said I wouldn't buy anymore, and I buy 10 or more CDs in six months. They already have 53,590 signatures with abaout 90% saying they won't buy CDs unless Napster comes back. So unless Napster comes back, and these ppl keep their word, RIAA is gonna loose several million dollars. More than they ever would've from Napster. So that's another thing you can do if you wanna help out Napster!

Leave it to me to inform the Alaskans AGAIN.

I signed the thing simply because I respect Napster, but my goodness, just switch to Scour!
