I have serious doubts that this will hurt Napster in the long run. Think about it, their name is all over the news, and people who did not know how to get MP3s off the net now have a great way to do it. Any publicity is good publicity. If the central Napster system fails, we could still always go back to IRC/FTP/Hotmail. There is no way to stop mp3 distribution.
