Hi All! I was using Napster last night to hunt down some rare and hard to find live mp3s - (for example the band Toto). I type in Toto as the band and Rare in the Title field, and voila! I get 100 instant matches from some guy called PilotError and every match looks a bit like this: OZZY OSBOURNE_SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE_LIVE_(bootleg)_SAMPLEACCURATE.COM_three doors down_toto_cowboy mouth_creed_the beach boys_jeff beck_rare rock_.mp3 All that in ONE mp3 title! And there are hundreds! All variations of band names, and all by the one guy "piloterror555", if he gets this kind of crap out there, no one will be able to find anything... Anyone seeing similar things?

It is not that as much as why would anybody waste their time making Napster better when in all likelyhood the company will be out of business soon. BTW, the company has not made any money.

The current issue of Time magazine has an article on the 19 year old that created Napster. He is living in an apartment in Silicon Valley (which you only have to be near rich to do).
