I just noticed that Napster is going to be bought up by the internet porn group Private Media. Presumbly they just want to use the name to redirect to a sex site. Seems to me that it’s a sad end to a pioneering company. Before Napster led the way I remember spending hours trying to find mp3 following many many broken links along the way.
Got to admit, I never used Napster. Wasn’t it basically a way of pirating music (I’m sure some of it was freely distributed, but I suspect that was in the minority)?
