how about we do what Apple is doing only instead of charging 99 cents. We charge 1 cent a song. Or 5 cents a song. Then all the profits go to Newschoolers...that way we get good music, dont get busted on kazaa, and NS gets money? how about it Harvey?

or we could all just buy the cds and support our fav artists so they continue to make music that we love

Yes, lets all share music on NS...

But instead of openly sharing music, which of course has gotten other sites sued and shut down. But lets also charge money for music that NS doesn't own.

Lets file this in 'most retarded idea ever' section.

So what yor basically saying is that you want to make me pay for what I can now get for free, highly limit the library of data I have acess to and make a legitamate company illegitmate so it can be shut down. Good call Flanker. Lets file this one right next to 'Removing my penis with a Waffle Iron:.

k... one... kazaa is about to be shut down. I heard it, they have something against them. Two, it would be like donating to the site, and getting something in return. after all you could get 100 songs for a buck..

hahaha kazaa is not getting shut down. it cant.


secondly, you can't just charge money for something you dont have the rights to. That's how matt goes to jail for a few years.

yeti is right, kazaa doesnt have a central server/building/etc. like napster did. There really is no kazaa.... it cannot get shut down. and it would be pointless anyways, there will always be more. and, why would NS share music, its a skiing site, not a p2p site.

so... then why dont we just share music normally? because it is illegal. so we do something with money or something...i dunno. and for the guy who said 'this is a skiing site' yes, but music is on here 2. There are tons of 'what song is this' or 'could i have the songs for this movie' so why cant we just have another thing under media that has songs to download...

it wont happen for a number of legal reasons, but it would be nice if it was possible.

how bout we have a section for music from NS member and their friends. I dont know how we could keep it like that. I guess the moderators could just delete all the songs that they've heard of.

Everyone is also forgetting a very important factor.

how about you download the music somewhere else for free, then donate some of the money you saved.
