As a self-proclaimed heathen and firm believer that any consenting adult should have access to whatever they want (as long as they cause no harm to others, mind you), I can't help but wonder about one thing. If this goes through, will it take just one month, 3 months, or 6 before Napster is in the black, with cash flow that would be considered obscene for other online businesses? It certainly won't take them a year to do it. Say what you will, but adult porn has been one of the most successful online businesses on the face of the planet. Danni's Hard Drive, which (AFAIK) peddles only soft porn rakes in the cash hand over fist. I can only imagine the profits Private Media Group will make if they get this deal approved. Opinions?
