RIP Napster - Again

Napster is dead again...finally. Who even knew (or cared) they were still around? No loss really, the attempts to cash in on the Napster name never really worked anyhow. This is the second time in a decade that the Internet has written a eulogy for Napster. The service, which in a former iteration frustrated the music industry via peer-to-peer file sharing, was absorbed today in a takeover by a rival music service. In a deal first reported by CNET in October, Rhapsody agreed to acquire Napster's subscribers and assets.
