Comment Napster Resume? (Score 4, Insightful) 17

Who would ever think Napster was going to resume anyway? Here one second, gone the next, and nothing but an antiquity 10 seconds later. That is the way of the internet. If something isn't updated, it's outdated. There was a time when Napster was, well, Napster. And now even if it returned, everyone has moved on to other resources for file sharing. 99% of the MP3 sharing public already has virtually every MP3 they could want, entire albums are obtained before they're released in stores. The entire internet is a vast ocean of data, an ocean the size of Jupiter, and in this place, there's no sense in trying to raise the Titanic, by the time you get it floating again, there's already a bigger, faster, more luxurious cruise ship, leaving that sunken boat to be no more than a rusty piece of scrap metal floating for the sake of floating. We don't need Napster to return any longer, we don't want it either. The millionaire with the cap should throw in the towel and quit wasting his money with legal battles. No matter what happens, the music industry can't succeed in this war. It's like having 3 fully armored knights trying to take down 100,000 peasants throwing stones. It doesn't matter that the big music companies have money and lawyers, they're outnumbered, in the time they can take down one of the small guys, 100 more crop up in their place. Napster is dead, necromancy is forbidden, and necrophilia is disgusting. So quit fondling that corpse.
