    Either Napster is having problems with their server of they just got shut down.

    How ironic would it be? The last song I grabbed was "Send in the Clowns" by Judy Collins

    Just downloaded Napster about 2 days ago to put on my new machine. Just downloaded a song today using it. I'm guessing it's still up and running.

    I think they just had temporary server problems last night (I couldn't get on either at that time). There were a couple of other times over the past month or so where I was unable to connect to their server.

    I couldn't log on last night, and now I'm having trouble again right now. Ugh.

    Hope they aren't shut down. I understand both sides of the argument though.

    Anyone know what's going on with Scour Exchange? (similar to napster, except you can download video and images as well as songs). Their server has been down for a few days now.

    Yeah I was just going to ask that, Scour Exchange has been down for a couple days as well.

    If you guys dont have scour exchange , get it because its really good.

    Napster is going to court today (Monday, 10/2) again. The recording industry is asking the 9th Circut Court of Appeals to reinstate the ban on Napster
    http://www.msnbc.com/news/471169.asp

    Two interesting things from this article:

    1) The survey -- 90,000 people surveyed, 90% against shutting the site down.

    2) Congress has now gotten involved. Senator Orrin Hatch sent a letter to the appeals court saying that a brief filed by the Justice Department and its copyright office siding with the recording industry did not represent the opinion of lawmakers.
