I'm chuckling to myself, Jim.

During the recent Napster debate I considered pointing out that your site design relies on elements which were created by designers at Apple, work that was not your own, but which you've appropriated for your own use. I think your intent was to celebrate it, sort of as an homage maybe. Probably could be considered fair use, but I'm not even sure design elements can be copyrighted.

But really, I don't object to it. I think it's a pleasant-looking site. I'm not exactly sure I want to embrace Aqua as an interface in the MacOS, but I'll worry about that when the thing ships.

I just felt that the design elements of your site provoked a little bit of cognitive dissonance with respect to your view of Napster and its functionality.

I'm not trying to fire up that debate again, though.

Change it, keep it. Follow your muse.
