Napster: The Movie

Joey Patterson writes "Looks like the story of Napster founder Shawn Fanning is headed to the small screen. CNET News.com reports that Fanning has signed a deal with MTV to turn his life story into a movie, which will focus on his personal saga during Napster's rise and fall. There's no word yet on who the cast will be (although Fanning may play himself), but Alex Winter (who played Bill in the "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" movies) will write (and possibly direct) the film."

Re:But which point of view?

I don't/can't watch MTV, but I thought that MTV had transformed itself into a youth channel, instead of a music channel.

Yeah Idiot box to liquid tv was the jam.

Ok- OT as hell,
but I actually saw something I liked on MTV this week- I was on the treadmill (gotta work that spare tire) and they have a show which takes like 3 different sets of people in some random town/county (they were in Cali, next time they'll be in Wichita) and they follow them around for the night.

You basically get to see how other lame-o's spend their friday or saturday nights. It very much so appealed to the sociologist in me.

I remember being out in Kansas City for work and I met up with some young hipsters. Its like that kind of thing- a night in the life of someone else.
