    I share my computer with about 3 other roommates, and we have mp3s which range from Top 40 to Rap to Dance / House, etc. Anyway, napster is usually left running in the background - you know what i noticed? I always see multiple DLR and VH songs being downloaded by people - sometimes for every 3 songs being downloaded one will be a Roth or VH w/Roth tune. This blows my mind - If the popularity Van Halen gets when an album is finally released, is anything like the popularity on Napster - they just might take the world by storm

    so i was just wondering if anyone else had noticed that - i'm sure I can't be the only one.

    I also noticed that VH was very popular when I had the remasters shared. It seemed like everyday at least five downloads would be of DLR-VH.

    For a little while. They need to rewrite the injunction before they kill it.

    I used to have Respect the Wind shared (unfortunately the short version), but I'd get one or two hits a night on it. The only other thing that popular was video game music I had shared.

    That's what's taking VH so long. They're waiting for Napster to shrivel up and die.
