The Latest Napster News
from the traffic-up,-hiring-the-enemy dept
The latest news out of Napster is that despite all their legal woes, traffic is up (perhaps some of that is due to their legal woes), and they're hiring an industry insider to head up their operations. That's probably a good thing, as maybe this will help lead to some sort of agreement between Napster and the music labels.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.
