Napster Makes a Quick Save with The Offspring
from the that-was-close dept
Yesterday we posted an update to the original Offspring/Napster article saying that Napster was being very stupid and had issued a cease and desist letter to the band. Today, however, they've announced that the two parties have come to an agreement and all the money raised from Offspring selling Napster merchandise goes to charity. I think Napster handled that pretty well, actually.
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
