Napster Should Release Pay For Service Now
from the yeah,-you-want-to-build-it? dept
An interesting article in Time that suggests that when the hammer comes down on Napster (expected to happen at some point today), they'll announce that their pay for service is ready to go and be able to immediately transfer over. Since they've already made a bunch of claims about it being ready sometime in the summer, I'd be really surprised if this actually happened.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.
