Re: Don't bash Microsoft (was A89: Sim City 68k)
Now your using stupidity of the press to say 'If napster loses, so will
ftp/http'.
Some stupid people may consider napster to be on the same line as ftp, but
its dumb asses like Ulrich that make assinine comments like that.
As much as i love napster, you can't live on the defense 'if I go down I'll
take the internet with me.' Napsters only defense is that 'they werent
notified of the pirating'. Bullshit. It could take me much less time to come
up with a much better argument.
