Excerpts:

"The cool thing about Napster is that it...encourages enthusiasm for music in a way that the music industry has long forgotten to do."-- Thom Yorke (Radiohead), 10/9/2000

"Napster could be a great way for people to hear your music who wouldn't have the chance to hear it on the radio."-- Madonna, Rolling Stone, 9/28/2000

"Most people I know who listen to a lot of MP3s will download a lot of different songs. And if they like the song, they'll go out and buy the album. The record company doesn't want me to say this, but out of the millions of MP3 files that are out there, if someone chooses to download one of my songs or an album of mine, I'm very flattered."-- Moby, Macaddict.com

"I remember when they didn't want you to have a VCR, but they worked it out and I think for the best. Smart people always get together and work it out."-- B.B. King, Yahoo Entertainment News, 9/13/2000

"We're not afraid of the Internet. We think it's a very cool way to reach our fans. If a band sells 12 million albums, what are we supposed to say? Oh, maybe we could have sold 13 million if we had just been Internet Nazis. Frankly, at a certain point, you have to say. Hey, let the people have the music."-- Dexter Holland (Offspring), Inside.com, 9/15/2000
