RIP Napster?

Well, it looks like Napster's caving in to the Controlling Legal Authority at last. No longer will anyone get free music, ever again. Unless they use gnutella. Or borrow CDs from the library. Or have friends with large music collections and a CD burner.

(Hey, if only there were some way for friends to share music over the internet. . . Oh, wait, never mind.)

By the way, has anyone figured out how Napster's proposed "copyright filter" is going to work? Any method I can think of is either easily circumvented (like, change the file names, folks!) or technically unfeasible. Maybe Giuliani's decency squad listens to every mp3?

So, in memoriam (or a last-minute shopping list), some of Ishbadiddle's latest downloads:
