Lighting Fools' Way
 | Well, my fight with Napster is over, and guess what, they won. Napster had the following to say regarding the issue of not carrying Japanese Pop music.
". . .the reason that Japanese pop music is not on our service. . .is the inability to obtain the rights to offer this music on our service. . . Music distibution in Japan is a very closed system and requires a local partner which we do not have at this time."
". . .I can assure you that including the largest variety of music possible on our service is a major goal of ours. It is in our financial interest to have content that appeals to the widest variety of musical taste. . .we welcome all who appreciate music regardless of their tastes and preferences."
The letter was signed by ther Senior Director of Customer Support(look it up, I'm angry, not spiteful, I won't post his name here). But read the comments, he contradicts himself in saying we're too lazy to do the legwork to acquire Japanese Pop music, yet we want to have the widest variety of music to reach out everyone's tastes. Am I supposed to be a complete idiot and believe that? How can anyone say in one breath, we can't get the music you want, but we want to get the music you want, does that make any sense at all? It boils down to this, Napster says they don't have Japanese Pop music, they can not get it, and will not even try to get it anytime soon. As such, they are now on my lower than garbage list.
Thank you to all who supported the effort, but don't get your hopes up.
Anime Dreams. Please look out for the shards of mine all over the place, the loud noise you heard earlier was them crashing down around me. | |
