It was the first music download sites and became an over night success - Napster is still aound and going strong how many internet companies can say that. Music shareing was considered innocent and innovative at it concept If you have a nice song that you liked to listen to, why not share that experience with others. Napster provided that platform and it turned out that there were millions who were just waiting to leap on it.

Napster had many problems in the early days like most fledgling companies. First of all the music companies and artists hated it, as it was depriving them of income and royalties. Whilst hackers and pirates loved Napster due to the about of up and downloads to unprotected computers world wide.

Napster in its illegal framework could not continue, and the courts decided after a long and drawn out legal battle that music sharing in Napster mode was basically a breach of copyright and subsequently a criminal offence. And just to show that they werent playing any games, a number of music lovers who didnt take courts at their word and continued to deal in pirated music found themselves guests of various governments around the World.

The people behind Napster quickly got the message and closed down their website to review their position. They were still very aware that there was a tremendous demand for easy access downloadable music, and that the public would pay money to access it, and not necessarily download it. Downloading music means paying for it, and listening to music means that the track is not your property but you can still enjoy access to it for a minimal fee. That was the principal that brought the new Napster and music industry together and has made Napster the Worlds largest reservoirs of digital music. .

Napster have now an offshoot in the UK, offering around unlimited streaming from their ten million plus catalogue of songs to suit very taste as well as the chance to legally download five MP 3 tracks a month for just 5.00.

The arrangement that Napster succeeded in working out with the music industry and the understanding of the global music loving public that there are no free lunches has proved to be an example of a situation where everybody wins, except of course the spam hackers who have long since moved on in search of their ill gotten gains.
