I think Napster is in for a big shock come July. I don't think nearly as many people will sign up for the pay service as they think. Especially not when there is Gnutella, and Gnotella, and bear share. All of these perr-to-peer progrmas are free and no has said anything about them yet. I think they (the record companies) would have to attack each file sharing service one at a time.
Soon there will be tons of peer-to-peer software programs that will allow you to share more than just music. Soon people will be trading software programs like they are baseball cards, except they'll be doing it online.
In fact you don't even have to dig too deep to find full blown versions of Adobe PhotoShop 6.0 or Full versions of Windows 2000 Pro.
