ermm, no it ain't. Please read the second half of what you quote below: Today the court of appeals stayed the judge's order to shut down Napster until they consider our appeal, probably in September. Not that I think napster does it's job particularly well but I thought people should know

It's buggy, you can only share mp3's, I often try to download a few songs only to get error so I can only assume that their database isn't kept updated very often at all. I can only compare it to gnutella under linux, which is also buggy but I like how it's distributed and not limited to mp3
