A U.S. federal judge ordered Napster to shut down its service in July 2001, but upstarts like Kazaa and Morpheus soon took its place. Kazaa, which in addition to music allows users to swap movies and other media files, said this week that its free software had been downloaded 100 million times. hahaha. "Throwing the books" at Napster really worked didn't it? Too bad for the RIAA peer-to-peer apps are considered a "killer app" by SV and its lobbies too. So they have quite a fight on their hands, remember that Ted Waite ad. L
