Unfortunately, the other micronutrients haven't panned out so well. It makes sense that antioxidants like vitamin E and vitamin C, which soak up cell-damaging "free-radical" molecules in the body, would protect against cell destruction.

But the harder-core users of Napster, the real "music lovers," those who know the difference between the Waters (Roger and Muddy), are faced with a moral dilemma. These die-harders are forced to realize that their file-sharing has decreased the demand for their pet artists, and is financially hurting those they love. This smaller, more...
