I'm not defending the record compananies, nor am I slamming Napster, but, it's 
like this.  NO one is forcing bands to sign these record contracts.  Granted, 
their chances of "making it" are slim to none without doing so, but they are 
making a councious choice to sign a record contract.  Sure, musicisans get the 
short end of the stick, but a the record companies are thoe ones putting up 
most of the money ((which has to be paid back of course), they have a right to 
dictate terms.  As for Napster -- if a band is looking for exposure, it's a 
great waydo it.  But, if a nband doesn't want to be made available on Napster, 
they shouldn't have to be, whatever their reasoning behind.  For the really 
realy big stars (ie Britney Spears), even though record sales are relatively_ 
a small amount, they are still worth millions of dollards to them.  ANyway, my 
point is simply that it should be up to the individual nand whether they want 
to be on Napster or not.
