The Null Device

The global Napster situation: Dave Stewart, formerly one half of Eurythmics, has praised Napster, as a means of putting artists back in control of their music

He welcomed the growth of music download site Napster and the many copycat services that have sprung up because they are helping to dismantle the system that allows music created and marketed by companies to flourish, producing groups that look and sound alike.

Stewart is also working with Paul Allen, the former Microsoft founder, on a system that allows artists to communicate more directly with their audience.
