The Null Device

The Big Mean German strikes a deal with Napster to develop a subscription service. The deal will give BMG a share of Napster (no news on how large), and make Napster a subscription-only service which gives money to the Big Five recording companies. (So if you pirate a track from Mute or Projekt or someone, the money still goes to the majors.) Wait for the new Napster to dump MP3 in favour of a securely encrypted format, becoming a copy of Universal's half-arsed online distribution venture.
