2002 MP3 Winners and Losers

Posted by michael on from the loosely-defined dept.

An anonymous reader writes "MP3newswire.net is running their annual losers and winners list in digital media. Each has 8 finalists with the big winner KaZaa for becoming profitable and doubling Napster's peak traffic despite setbacks like getting briefly booted from Download.com. The big loser? No surprise, it's the RIAA who despite several wins in court have failed in their quest to stem file trading. Lawrence Lessig and Dmitry Skylarov also made the winners list, though as the article points out it wasn't exactly a great year for Dmitry."

    Did anyone notice that CowboyNeal was one of the finalists for big loser? Apparently he still hasn't found that mp3 of "Feel like a woman" he's been looking for.
