Napster Being Shut Down 213
helix2301 writes "Napster was one of the earliest and most popular P2P music-sharing services. After a long legal battle that saw Napster slowly gutted in the face of infringement lawsuits, it was reinvented as a legitimate music download service. The resurrected Napster is now being shut down. Rhapsody has completed its purchase of Napster and will be absorbing its subscribers and assets."

I'm not sure where the arrogant stoner went after the local record store closed. But if I had to guess, I would imagine he's in his Mom's basement right now listening to a post-pre-punk ska glam fusion band on vinyl and longing for the days when he could spend all day telling customers how much better his tastes were than theirs.

AND I contribute to my local economy.
Buying from my local record store was only helping keep the local weed dealer in business. But to each his own.

If you were buying albums with 1 good song for every 5 bad ones, then yes, the local store's stoner's taste is probably better than yours.

When in 'reality' we know that your taste is so much more hip than anyones.
I listen to bands so niche that even they haven't heard their music.

I like Beethoven too.

It's a really obscure number, and you've probably never heard of it.
