RIAA Head: Napster Is Done


The big migration has begun!

Users slowly leave the file-trading service because of the drop in songs available on the network. Meanwhile, the company continues to fight for its life in federal court.

To the recording industry that has fought with loaded guns to shut the system down, however, Napster -- and free, indiscriminate digital music sharing -- is already history.

"Emotionally, Napster is over," Recording Industry Association of America head Hilary Rosen said Tuesday. "We've moved on already."

To bad the RIAA couldn't wait for a legal subscription based client. Because napster users are leaving I think it's hard to get them back when they have a legal version in like 2 (?) months...

Napster also issued an apology to its users for "overblocking" access to music files. Read more about that on CNN...
