I heard a funny story from someone on CNBC this morning (the singer in a rock group called "Train"). He was answering a question about how Napster helps and hurts bands. He said that bands just starting out really were helped a lot by Napster, as people downloaded music. Then a band gets to a certain success level and decides it doesn't like this downloading. The funny story was about how someone was printing up and selling "Napster" sweatshirts and t-shirts at concerts. Napster was Not Amused and sued. I guess the word "irony" really isn't in their dictionary. --Tim May
