Napster has no business associating with the members of the RIAA. I think Napster should continue it's present coarse of action, which is-"Leave us alone, we have no control over what the users of our product do with it." Negotiating with the labels can only lead to the end of Napster as we know it. I guess that 15 million dollar round of VC money has pointed Napster down the wrong road. Fortunately, if Napster gives in, there will be others to come along to open the spigot again.
