Random Topics - Napster
Napster was an online music file sharing service created by Shawn Fanning while he was attending Northeastern University in Boston and operating between June 1999 and July 2001. Its technology allowed people to easily share their MP3 files among each other, bypassing the established market for such songs and thus leading to the music industry's accusations of massive copyright violations.

Boned when they lost the case. The party was over. On the other hand, they made a super-corrupt industry that was inundated with gangsta-rappers marketing obscenity to children, quake in their boots, and gave rise to other file sharing services with offshore servers that are not subject to US copyright laws. The industry never recovered, but I'm not sure they deserve to after the way they've been ruining music since the mid-1980s. -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on August 27, 2012, 11:59 am - (0 votes)

Npaster was a business joke from day one. It never produced or sold a product or service but just parasite that provided a way for others to ripoff content. -- Submitted By: (scatcatpdx) on August 16, 2010, 1:55 pm - (-1 votes)

The recording industry trying to shut down Napster all those years ago instead of figure out some mutually beneficial conclusion was one of the worst mistakes they ever made. -- Submitted By: (BigAl) on August 11, 2010, 12:00 pm - (0 votes)

Ok, I get the whole copyright deal, but the way that they (those against Napster) went about it, they make themselves look like total a**holes. -- Submitted By: (PYLrulz) on May 20, 2010, 6:35 am - (1 votes)
