"A few prominent musicians are beginning to rally around
MP3-swapping company Napster, which faces a potentially crippling
series of lawsuits from the recording industry and some
artists."
"Rapper Chuck D, who has long been one of the industry's most
outspoken proponents of MP3 music, said today that he is hosting a
song-writing contest on his Rapstation.com Web site, aimed at
highlighting how Napster can help musicians."
"We want to draw attention to the positive aspects that Napster
has to offer artists," Chuck D said in a statement. "They need to
realize that they can benefit infinitely from what it has to
offer."
