[Napster] 11 - End of the Road.mp3

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wiping-a-single-tear-from-my-cheak dept.

psoriac writes "Looks like the long sad saga of Napster is drawing to a final close; after being shut down by the courts, losing its execs, filing for chapter 11, and having its sale to Bertelsmann AG blocked, the remaining physical assets of Napster are being sold at auction by Dovebid. The auction site is close to my house; I think I'll stop by and pick up some memorabilia."

      No chance of that. The band had to sell their pens just to make ends meet, thanks to piracy. They had some markers awhile back, but they used them up making signs that said: "Will rock out for food".

    Taco still can't spell. Perhaps there's going to be a spell checker up at auction. We can only hope.

    Knowing that the RIAA has put an end to piracy. No more downloading MP3s for us, we have to go buy our music.

    Hey,
    It's rather interesting to see that the hardware actually reflects the technology used...
    If they used P2P the hardware was much less interesting

    > Did anyone buy any of the Enron stuff from Dovebid when that went down a while back? The main thing that discouraged me, other than lack of money, was the insanely high minimum proxy bid. Most of the stuff wasn't worth that much.

    For some reason I find it unsurprising that Enron's stuff was overvaluated.

    No, the trademark has alredy been sold.

    The Ajax Novelty Item Manufacturer, Inc. of Chicago, Illinois has bought the 'Napster' brand. They plan to come out soon with the Sean Fanny "Napster" vibrating butt plug.
