Accorning to CNBC cough, Napster will learn of its fate tomorrow in its suit with the RIAA. (edit, the trial starts tomorrow) No mater how you slice it, Napster allows people to pirate music via Mp3's. Im all for the protection of IPR, but I also want to see Mp3's become even more and more popular. If Napster gets shut down, I can see this effecting the MP3 player OEM's more than say a SNDK....
