Re: <nettime> Napster Hurts Free Software |
Florian: > mp3 files on Napster are not "Open Source" because they are binaries and > because it's illegal to freely distribute and modify them. They are as > little "Open Source" or "Free" as Warez are. And, as far as mp3.com or other "free samples" show, they badly suck because you must wade through a whole bunch of cookies and press some "Play" button and get realaudio at the end, if something. I wish there were simple mp3s anywhere, as I saw them once in corea, Miles, Chick etc, but they were too big then.
