                  Napster

    "The fact that this technology is out there means that they either adapt, or they die." 
    "It really is the wave of the future. You know, you want a song, it just instantly happens. You don't have to go to the store any more; you don't have to shell out as much money where you buy a whole album that has tracks you don't like in it." 
    "Everybody is going to be using MP3s. CDs are on their way out." 
    As the debate over Napster moves into court, many of those on both sides are calling for a technological solution, some way for artists and recording companies to collect a fee on downloaded music. So far, record stores report only minimal sales losses, and only in areas near college campuses. As the court was making its ruling, attorneys reported that Napster's web site was flooded with music fans downloading 14,000 songs a minute.
