Being a Notes developer, I know that notes sucks on quite a number of grounds: cost, memory hogging, really large install, etc, etc. However, it is probably the fastest platform to develop high powered business workflow apps.
As far as content management...
Domino.doc is pretty great, there is also a 3rd party web managemnt tool called Aptrix that I worked on an implementation of. both products are pretty great, but only if your business is large enough to warrant running Notes/Domino server in the first place. I mean, Post Nuke does basically the same thing as both products and is free (as in beer, as in GNU).
Instead of trying to make users pay for downloaded songs why not have Napster pay ASCAP/BMI/SESAC performance royalties ala radio?
It should work like this: ASCAP/BMI/SESAC take a sampling of songs of users of Napster x performance royalty rate = performance royalties Napster owes ASCAP/BMI/SESAC ---then--- ASCAP/BMI/SESAC pay artists rates similar to radio performance
This would put Napster in a position similar to that of a radio station: they would have to pay performance royalties for songs registered to performing rights organizations (ASCAP/BMI/SESAC) being transferred over their system.

Yeah, I'll tell you about my mother.
Pretty decent interview/story with him in this month's wired, mainly about the book.
