It's just napping. A new, less illegal version is about to wake up and hit the Net. The new owner, Roxio, says you'll see the nice, new Napster online by the end of the year -- just be ready to pony up some credit card info because the new service will be subscription based. Roxio bought Napster's name and intellectual property for $5 million last year at a bankruptcy sale and hired the Sultan of Swap (and Napster's founder) Shawn Fanning to be a consultant.
