Yes Rande, Napster is dead. I do am in the creative properties field and the big media companies will be the ones downloading (for $) and they are intent on that. During the net boom little start-ups were trying to publicly challenge the big media congloms saying ha ha unless you buy us out we're going to domninate you now. The joke was on the little guys who unless they got a fat IPO (good for a few years) are going splat. The only internet companies I would considering buying are dominant security, infrastructure and ISP's and those only at the bottom now. And for the time being this might be the bottom for many of them right now. But better yet I'd prefer to buy the telcos which own the pipelines themselves, VZ, SBC, WCOM etc. ORCL however is looking cheap right now.

The napsters of the world are history, though Napster could emerge as a hip small player offering upstart new bands product.

They'll never, ever stop music piracy on the Net. They can shut down Napster, Scour and whatever else, but they'll never shut down every individual FTP site.
