Napster (classic)

Napster is a site that distributes free software which allows users to download and exchange MP3 music files stored on their hard drives. Napster doesn't store MP3 files on their servers, but it allows users to connect via Napster servers.

Is it wrong? Yes. Is it stealing? To a point. However, the record companies look like total money grubbing pimps here. Instead of figuring out a way to make money off of this (something I still don't understand how Napster the company did), they push to stop this, DISPITE all-time record album sales. Bands like Metallica, while I understand their point, came off (for the first time in their careers, mind you) as money-hungry corprate talking heads. In all, I loved Napster. It was great. Now there are so many sites doing this, they can't stop them all. It's useless closing the barn doors after the horses have gotten out.
