Napster was the very first free music downloader. Shawn Fanning and Sean Parker (the 1st president of Facebook) co-founded the famous P2P file sharing service at the height of the dotcom boom in 1999.
Who owns Napster? After legal difficulties, Napster was forced to shut down 2001. Roxio purchased Napster in 2002 and renamed their PressPlay music service to Napster 2.0. In 2008, Best Buy purchased Napster from Roxio and later merged it in a deal with Rhapsody. And in 2016, Rhapsody was renamed to Napster, and as of 2018, uses it as their music downloader's brand name. |
