Nap- Nap- Napster, Goodbye! |
First of all, while Napster is changing the fundamental way they do business, they are not closing down. Besides, without knowing when this e-mail was originally authored, "in two weeks" means absolutely nothing. Plus, who's counting the "votes," and who decided that 2.5 million is the magic number of supporters needed to keep the site open another 6 months. But all of that is moot since e-mails like this one cannot be tracked. That technology does not exist. Despite the fact that this chain encourages you to sign up for the Napster newsletter (using text copied directly from the Napster website), it actually steals from Napster's legitimate efforts to get public support in their legal proceedings. Napster has created the Napster Action Network that gives you quick and easy ways to really make a difference by contacting your congressmen, forming advocacy chapters, or attending "Save Napster" events. Sure, that isn't quite as easy as hitting the Forward button, but it's destined to be far more successful. |
