Napster on the ropes?

I doubt it: 100,000 subscribers (if you believe that figure) represents a lot of
potential income. I'm sure there'd be a white knight to buy them
out and keep the DRM going. Maybe Real or Yahoo or even MS
themselves. Or maybe MS will quietly funnel some operating capital
to Napster like they did with SCO. It would look bad for the mother
ship to have all these partners start dropping like flies.; Posted by: Len Rooney Posted on: 01/18/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
