Napster pauses file-swapping service
Napster pauses file-swapping service
Struggling to make new song-blocking software work, Napster on July 2nd temporarily stopped all file trading on its once-popular service. The hiatus comes shortly after Napster disabled old versions of its software. It pushed its members to a new version that rendered the service all but unusable, blocking even the most obscure, uncopyrighted works from being traded.
