Napster is what spawned all the new downloading programs lol they didn't stop shit they made it worse haha record company's that fuck there own contract bands, FUCK YOU ASSHOLES.Did you know record company's rip off there own artists they don't make shit, but owe the record company's money read up on it its what most don't even know about the bizz WELL NOT ANYMORE FUCK HEAD'S
You're such a fool. This man (actually a kid at the time) single-handedly started the process that revolutionized the way we get our music. There would be no iTunes or Amazon MP3 stores today if there were no Shawn Fanning due to the fact that the record industry would've never allowed their music to be legally purchased online had they not faced such stiff completion from the P2P clients that succeeded Napster after its demise. Shawn Fanning deserves to have his name in the encyclopedia.
@thecrazyaviator Napster was a new threat that was made an example of. Also, youtube doesn't have the potential to affect movie sales or netflix profits in the same way Napster affected record companies. While some people will watch an entire movie on youtube in a series of 10 minute clips, if somebody really likes the movie they will look for a better format. Movie torrents on the other have the potential to be a serious threat to the industry, for obvious reasons.

@darksith36 No, it's because he wanted to have a gold-plated shark tank bar installed, but had to wait a few months

Youtube has done basicly the same thing for video that Napster did for audio. Why is one allowed to exist and not the other?

no it hasn't. youtube is the equivalent of a site that lets you stream music, not download it, burn it, etc.
