It's very cool that it isn't (i just downloaded some Chemical Brothers stuff), but I thought Napster had 72 hours from the beginning of the week to prevent copyrighted material being copied. It's working as well as ever... :cool:

They had 72 hours to implement protection...they said that they'd only block music that the record companies could prove they own...which will take longer than 72 hours :cool:
How long does it take to prove they own something...
Sony/EMI/other geezer - "This band is signed with us."
Judge - "Oh okay, well proved."
Napster - "Damn"
They're method of doing it is really dodgy though. They couldn't block every possible permiatation of a name, and how symbols could be used for letters, like $p1(e Gir1$ (that is obviously Spice Girls)
True, but how do you do a search that finds "$p1(e Gir1$ " ?
