Own Nothing, Have Nothing

I just saw one of the new Napster commercials. Slogan: "Own Nothing, Have Everything". They even do that cliche'd "brain-washing" Outer Limits thing.

Another version: "Hello friend. You don't need to own music to discover music. To love music. To enjoy music."

Interesting. This is the world the music industry wants us to live in.
