Will these mp3 files come at 128 kbs for $3.99 plus tax? How about complimentary waterboarding for the non compliant “customers”. George W Bush said it was ok in Cuba, so why not let Americans in on the fun as well.

Are you insane?

Do not send any money to Napster!

Any money you send to Napster will end up in the pocket of these RIAA parasites and they will use YOUR MONEY! to persecute honest citizen in the exercise of their constitutional right!

Send your money to indies companies opposed to the Sue’Them all campain or better directly to the artists as long as they do not support the RIAA.

BOYCOTT THE RIAA!

Aaron
their interpretation of the term “critical mass” might be fundamentally different from those of us normal guys (or they simply misspoke again?!)

Maybe they understand critical mass as a mass that is about to explode and terminate them finaly What they have realised will happen if they don’t start with mp3 now after 7 years.

(In the meantime those that have some serious kind of internetconnectivity have already switched from mp3 to flac and organised music again comes to late when they think they can sell now soundreduced stuff that will be in the end more expensive then those bargain sale 9,99 EUR CD box sets with 3to5CDs and ~50 old songs on them in real “perfect digital quality”)

Unbelievable. âAs there is now a critical mass of support for MP3s we are very pleased to announce we will soon offer our customers the user-friendly MP3 file format throughout our product line-up and provide the top-tier content our users expect from Napster,â

So, the reason they didn’t offer mp3s before was because they weren’t well supported. That makes perfect sense. I guess their crippled format had better support than mp3, until now.

If you are an invester, run fast! Sell everything and run now!!!

Damn! No more Digital Consumer Enablement for Napster? Now you’re really gonna see what it feels like to be restricted.

Watch this space.

Hurray………. I hope.
As long as it doesn’t end up going belly up this is a good thing.
I hate limitations and DRM.
Hopefully this MP3 format war continues and we see a complete shift in online music.
the next big hit will be when all MP3 players start using the MP3 format as well.

Any particular reasons why you felt the need to mention this is not a spoof? hehe
