Well.. this move is certainly not surprising, as we all know. The recording industry cringes each time another mp3 player comes out onto the market. And Napster was the first convenient, main-stream method of obtaining mp3s. Being relatively easy to use, it's popularity grows quickly. What gets me, is that the recording industry is fooling itself if they think that they can ever stop the trading and pirating of mp3s.. people will just take it underground again. It will be a ring of little naplets;)
