i think it’s just about impossible to understate how much ian macKaye altered the trajectory of my entire existence. and i mean that in the best possible way. as usual, he’s speakin’ the truth:
“Napster may go by the wayside because it may just sell out. That’s apparently what’s going on now. But people will continue to find ways to share the music that has affected them. With Napster and the sharing of music, of course, there are going to be people who exploit it. Greed has no end. But there’s a lot of good that could happen. We shouldn’t let the economic concerns of the major labels infringe on our freedom to share music. Fuck ’em. ”
