The program that practically led the file-sharing movement.
Napster was undoubtedly the greatest peer-to-peer program ever created, allowing millions of net users to download their favorite music at a price substantially smaller than the jacked up prices the RIAA makes us shell over. The price? Free.
Unfortunately, when someone decided to complain that they weren't getting $97 out of the millions they make every week, the RIAA decided to use that as an excuse to terminate Napster, thus forcing the legendary Shawn Fanning to turn the program into what is now the equivalent of O-Town: something we wish just died altogether.
Today there are some commendable file-sharing programs that, while doing their job, cannot match up to what Napster has brought to all of us.

Once a free Mp3-trading site, which ACTUALLY had a shitload of excellent-quality independent music, but thanks to the Record Industry Assfuckers of America (RIAA), Napster was quickly killed, and its charred and decomposed corpse was turned into a crappy pay site in 2003 which, unfortunately, doesn't even have any songs that are worth downloading anymore.
the "Napster" that's advertized on TV is not Napster, but some inferior-quality pay-per-download service disguised as Napster.

A formerly Peer-to-Peer file sharing network, but thanks to the RIAA it has since become legal and the files I download aren't compatible with my iPod
Fuck the RIAA, now I have 1000 songs I can't do anything with. Great.

(N.) Someone who takes a lot of naps.
(Oh yeah, it's also a crappy Internet music downloading site.)
John sure is a napster. He must have to be, though with as much time as he spends on that crappy website, Napster.
