I found this televised debate from 2000, when Napster was at its peak. Even 12 years later, the discussion doesn't seem to have moved on a great deal, with little resolution between the two sides of the argument. A lot of what Chuck D and Lars professes actually come true though. internet distrobution does facilite great things for emerging artists and encourages a more exposed, global music marketplace. It also does allow grey-area entrepreneurs to profit from distributing copyrighted material, both film (which wasn't possible at this time) and music.
