Napster

[Timothy Wilson <wilson@visi.com>]

Hey everyone,

It looks like we're starting to see the Napster flood here at school. I've
noticed a number of students trying to install it on various machines.
We're probably going to have to end up blocking it to preserve what
bandwidth we've got. So, does Napster run on a special port? Is the
software available from sites other than napster.com? I'd appreciate any
info anyone could provide.

I don't know how others feel about Napster, but the warning on their
homepage about complying with various laws rings a little hollow with me.
What percent of Napster traffic is legit? Is it even 1%? I support MP3s
and I hate what the music industry is doing to try to destroy them, but I
can't help thinkig they've got a point when it comes to Napster.
