Lessons from Napster

Here's a truly well-written post about what happened at Napster before it went bust. Written by Don Dodge, who worked a Napster and who is now with Microsoft, it's an insightful peek into a company that revolutionised the web and which was, perhaps, a bit ahead of it's time. As Don puts it, "Napster was a Web 2.0 company back in the 1.0 world". A highly recommended read.
