ahh but see Napster didn't make any money. They had millions invested from VCs but they never turned anything that remotely looked like a profit. The plan was to make it profitable years down the road and with the ungodly millions they had invested they could have done it if it wasn't for the RIAA.
I knew Shawn and talked with several executives in the company throughout Napsters life. I even had Shawn's extion number to his office at one time (this is not being said to brag in any way, but to show how I know Napster wasn't making money)
My parents decided we need a filter to protect us. So our isp runs Bess. It sucks. It blocks even slashdot now. I can't even find out my daily mp3 news with it. On older versions you can get around it by deleting the proxy server info in netscape or exploer. On the new versions I have found no other fix than to find the password. They also have blocked all ports besides 80 as with the latest version. Sucks to be me:( No icq,irc,ftp, or napster.
