    p*rn Corporation Makes Napster Bid

    Mon Sep 16, 9:13 AM ET
    By RON HARRIS, Associated Press Writer

    SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - One of the Internet's leading purveyors of p*rnography has offered to purchase the Napster ( news - web sites) trademark and Web site address for nearly $3 million in hopes of cashing in on the bankrupt song-swap company's notorious reputation.



    Barcelona, Spain-based Private Media Group Inc. offered to snap up Napster's most valuable remaining asset — its unique brand identity — for 1 million shares of Private's common stock, the bidding company announced in a release issued last week.

    The company's chief executive, Charles Prast, said his company is interested in using the Napster trademark merely to place a familiar brand name on a peer-to-peer network for his p*rnography seeking customers.

    Not content to remain mired in the print p*rnography world, Private has branched out into the Internet and even offers adult content for mobile phones and PDAs like Palm and Pocket PC devices.

    Earlier this month, a Delaware bankruptcy judge blocked the sale of Napster's assets to its chief investor, Bertelsmann AG. The former song-swapping giant prepared to convert its Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization filing into a Chapter 7 liquidation proceeding.

    I use blubster, and it works great. MP3's only, but that's good enough for me.

    Limewire is horrible. 1 out of 10 things actually download. And it downloads at like 5k per second.
