Times of India reports on Prince's Napster essay

The Times of India on August 11 carried a report on the Napster Commentary in the “Around the World” section on Page 13.
The heading was “Napster is exciting”.
This is what the article had to say:-



New York : Funk and rock star (sic) Prince weighed in this week on music – sharing technology issues, calling services like Napster “exciting”, and sharply criticizing the record industry for exploiting artists. Prince’s remarks make their appearance before a looming courthouse showdown between Napster and the world’s largest record companies. “From the point of view of the music lover, what’s going on can only be viewed as an exciting new development in the history of music” said Prince, whose hits include 1999, When Doves cry and Cream. “And fortunately for (the music lover), there does not seem to be anything the old record companies can do about preventing this evolution from happening”.
