Napster finds MP3 files on people's computers which are shareable.
Many of these files found by Napster are often unofficial copies of
songs, not authorized by the artist or record company and the artists
don't get royalties, so the whole issue is controversial.
If you are connecting from an office, your company probably has a
firewall for many reasons. Firewalls protect PC's from viruses, intruders
etc. Napster is often blocked by firewalls specifically due to the high
volume of traffic the MP3 sharing generates.
