納普斯特

????從1999年老版的Napster誕生起，直至兩年后它戛然而止，人們一直對(duì)它鐘愛有加。它利用點(diǎn)對(duì)點(diǎn)的文件分享網(wǎng)絡(luò)，讓用戶免費(fèi)獲得自己想要的任何音樂(lè)。音樂(lè)產(chǎn)業(yè)當(dāng)然對(duì)這種做法恨之入骨，最終通過(guò)在聯(lián)邦法庭打官司的方式，成功地讓Napster關(guān)門大吉。Napster的資產(chǎn)被清算，名字也被重新用于付費(fèi)音樂(lè)服務(wù)。

Napster

????People loved the old Napster, from its inception in 1999 right up until the end two years later. They could use the peer-to-peer file-sharing network to get virtually any song they wanted for free. The music industry, of course, hated the idea and, ultimately, succeeded in shutting down Napster after suing the start-up in federal court. Napster's assets were liquidated and its name repurposed into a paid music service.
