(...) 'It's clear at this point that file-sharing software will never disappear; already, more than a dozen Napster clones let music lovers swap tunes. If a judge grants the proposed injunction, the fans booted off Napster will probably just flock straight to Freenet or {HYPERLINK "/tech/log/2000/03/15/gnutella/index.html"}Gnutella, which are competing open-source file-swapping technologies. With no corporate backers and scores of unknown users hosting the software on their private machines, services like Gnutella will never cut deals with record labels or musicians. They will never take in subscription fees.' ---> jab
