Napster to liquidate

4 September 2002 16:08 by Petteri "dRD" Pyyny

Napster's homepage says it all: "Napster was here" and "Ded kitty". In case you're reading this article and the pages are not there anymore, check these screenshots: #1 and #2.

So, today, one day after the bankruptcy court ruled that Napster can't be sold to German media giant Bertelsmann, it laid off all of its 42 employees and shut down the site and filed Chapter 7 liquidation.

So, that's it. The end.
