I would hate to see ebay go but I think the time is comming. Mayby they will just pull out of Australia or something. Bring some coke and get everyone addicted.

Didn't Napster die as a result of some shady copyright activities?

Maybe there is a parallel being drawn to ebay???

Napster according to Wikipedia :

Napster is a name given to two music-focused online services. It was originally founded as a pioneering peer-to-peer file sharing Internet service that emphasized sharing audio files, typically music, encoded in MP3 format. The original company ran into legal difficulties over copyright infringement, ceased operations and was eventually acquired by Roxio. In its second incarnation Napster became an online music store until it was acquired by Rhapsody from Best Buyon December 1, 2011.

Was there a thing before napster? They (the one I'm trying to think of) ended up actually hosting the information which I assume is why they got shut down. The law has changed now and if you assist in it it doesn't matter.

I only bring this up because ebay have several thousand listings that have counterfiet products. I have reported some yet nothing is done. It is ebay that own the listing, they even are nice enough to place ads on there for you.

The sad thing about Limewire for the users, some were paying for the service, thinking that was keeping everything legal, but the money wasn't going to the artists, it was going straight into the pockets of those that owned the site. People got ripped off blind when they thought they were doing the right thing.
