4.0 out of 5 stars A useful in-depth summary of Napster and its importance, 3 Jun 2002

By A Customer

Merriden has produced a thorough review of all important aspects of Napster, and discusses sensibly its impact on the laws and finance of the music industry. Most of us know some of the Napster story, but this puts it all together and tries to make sense of the phenomenon. A worthy effort, and yet to be bettered on the subject.
