Return of the Nap Star January 19, 2005
I awoke this morning to find a note on my kitchen table. It appeared to have been penned by the hand of The Napster
“Dear Sir/Madam/Dave Lee Travis,
It has come to my attention that you have a toaster. I’ve recently decided that I don’t like people making toast as they may develop a strong liking for it and therefore buy fewer pre-packed sandwiches. I am therefore making toasting illegal. You can still own a toaster, just don’t use it for anything that might get you in trouble.
I also notice that you enjoy reading words and sentences. I am also very disappointed to learn that you have been reading words and sentences that haven’t been officially authorised by myself. The only words you can read are the words on this piece of paper, and any words contained within my official weekly newsletter - “The Napster, The Ultimate Good Thing”. Please refrain from reading any other words, or I shall have to sue you and then steal all your furniture.
Thank you for not only co-operating, but also for believing that the service I offer is good value because, well, I say it is.
The Napster”
I had previously recieved news that the new service from Napster - Napster-To-Go - is based upon some sort of technological gizmoid that lets you listen to as much music as you want (but apparently only the limited tracks that they let you), for a monthly subscription but, get this, only while you continue that subscription.
Yes, lets all go out now and find another seemingly culturally important and necessary aspect of our lives like, say, music, re-package it and sell it back to the masses in bite-size chunks.
