Napster is a file sharing distribution program. People can buy a CD the day that it is released, run it through a CD ripper making mp3's out of all the songs, then post them on Napster. The actual posting part isn't what's illegal. It's the people that download Napster, go into the Search, and download those songs for their computer. That way you can end with whole CD's on your ocmputer without having to give the artist or record label a single penny. So, in case, Kelly, you don't want to use anything illegal, don't use Napster. 8) The group Metallica, and the rap artist Dr. Dre have sued Napster, and anybody who has Metallica songs off of Napster, and has them posted for other people to take, have been banned from Napster. So, no its not exactly legal. 8)
