I think it's pretty obvious to most people that Napster is not media specific, but I could see a system like Napster evolving into something that allows users to locate and retrieve different types of data other than just MP3s or audio files.

Napster hijacked our music without asking. They never sought our permission. Our catalog of music simply became available as free downloads on the Napster system.

I think that the most beautiful thing lately hasn't been in hardware or software per se but collaboration - the idea behind Napster, which uses the distributed power of the Internet as its engine.

It's clear that people are going to download media files, and they're going to talk to each other, and they're going to exchange information and knowledge and so forth. So this system logic is basically what you bounce off of.

When you think of Napster, you think of music. But the first thing that struck me was that this was an important case not only for the music industry but for the whole Internet.

It's a radical time for musicians, a really revolutionary time, and I believe revolutions like Napster are a lot more fun than cash, which by the way we don't have at major labels anyway, so we might as well get with it and get in the game.

Napster is essentially using the music to make money for themselves and that's the part that's both morally and legally wrong. That I think is more relevant than whether or not I'm losing money.

To devise an information processing system capable of getting along on its own - it must handle its own problems of programming, bookkeeping, communication and coordination with its users. It must appear to its users as a single, integrated personality.

Revolution 101
psycho driven insanity
of man and machine
a technological thriller
based on a psycho killer
into the dream on the pretty tv screen
you scream in fear, 'cause the end is near
psychological warfare on the masses, hysteria
anarchy is the true freedom
but the path needs pavement
to overcome the flaws of this system
this system
media lies to help hypnotize you
digital tension
right wing fascist
backwards
mentally deficient
masses of people
believe the rhetoric of the churches
and the state, and in the media
where they believe
peace is war, love is hate
yes means no, and segregate
a life is a dime or a quota
for the ruling class
johnny, take your gun
to the center, to the square
raise hell bring it all down
revolution 101
emergency, no plight, no cause to be free
forever and ever
a system of a stupid laboring class
that believes all the crap
that they read from the mainstream
and the right wing
for separation, oppression of anyone
