Napster Eclipsed by Newcomers
Napster Eclipsed by Newcomers
Months after shutting down its file-trading service, Napster has finally been displaced by four new applications that allow users to trade music, movies and software, a new study concludes. Four new file-sharing systems -- FastTrack, Audiogalaxy, iMesh and Gnutella -- were used to download 3.05 billion files during August, according to research firm Webnoize. That's more copyrighted material than was ever shared using Napster.
