The original Napster site
A 19 yr old Shawn Fanning created the software which allowed people to exchange mp3 files on the internet completly free of charge. He worked with the likes of Sean Parker to create the music service who later became the facebooks first presidet and a major shareholder. Sadly after the kusic industry and its artists collectivly launched several legal major cases against the start up , it was forced to actually shut down in 2001.
The likes of the orignal napster inspired various similar music services such as lime wire , and kazqaa which alowed people to download music illegally and share it with friends. Such sites also experienced a legal lashaback which bought the companies to an abrupt end. Napster came back onto the music scene in 2003 but it was a shadow of its former disruptive self, it is now a legal dowlaod service.
