                       Napster
  
    "This isn't, you know, just a sweet young guy who's looking for some fun in his college dorm room. They are building a business by facilitating the stealing of artists' music." (Metallica music) 
    Some artists like the heavy metal band Metallica agree. They want the royalties from their recordings. But other less well-known groups--like Hieroglyphics--have embraced the Internet, and want their music in cyberspace. Tajai Massey is organizer of the group. 
    "To me, it just basically is access, an access to markets that we'd never be able to touch. I mean, where now we have offers to do shows in South Africa."
    Even if Napster shuts down, many computer users and music fans say they will have no problem finding other programs to get free music. There's Audio Galaxy, Scour dot Net, Cutemx, and one called Gnutella. It's not a company, but a technology that exists on the net, with no way to shut it all down. Gene Kan and Spencer Kimball work on Gnutella.
