Bill Gurley on Napster
from the it's-a-revolution dept
I tend to post all of Bill Gurley's columns here, because they're well thought out, and tend not to just hype the same thing that everyone else is hyping. So, I was excited to see that his latest was all about Napster and how it would change the world. I agree with him on that, and I was hoping that his perspective would be a deeper, more thoughtful analysis than everything else we've seen. Unfortunately, it's not. The article pretty much just says Napster is not going away, which we knew already.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
