And if you believe what Cringely has to say, iTunes may be already ramping up to do just that, in conjunction with the Mini Mac. (refer to a previous Slashdot article)

did anyone read the article? by reidspice · 2005-01-24 13:51 · Score: 2, Informative

i don't get it.. the CEO said that they are "considering" and that there "could be" a role for napster. did anyone RTA?

why does this mean that napster is definitely going into the movie distribution business? lots of companies are considering lots of things - this is not news. and the headline "Napster to Offer Movie Downloads"? wildly inaccurate.
