纳普斯特 从1999年老版的Napster诞生起，直至两年后它戛然而止，人们一直对它钟爱有加。它利用点对点的文件分享网络，让用户免费获得自己想要的任何音乐。音乐产业当然对这种做法恨之入骨，最终通过在联邦法庭打官司的方式，成功地让Napster关门大吉。Napster的资产被清算，名字也被重新用于付费音乐服务。 |
Napster People loved the old Napster, from its inception in 1999 right up until the end two years later. They could use the peer-to-peer file-sharing network to get virtually any song they wanted for free. The music industry, of course, hated the idea and, ultimately, succeeded in shutting down Napster after suing the start-up in federal court. Napster's assets were liquidated and its name repurposed into a paid music service. |
