Napster's sale is very close

I confess that I haven't delved very deeply into this, *but*..... Exactly what "assets" are we talking about here? Outside of the 'Napster' name itself, and perhaps some decent file-sharing software that they originally wrote, what "assets" are they referring to? What 'assets' are worth a $2.4 million bid (???) -- Klingy --

I would say that the trademark and domain name are worth of 99% of the assets.

(sniff) I kind of miss the little "Napster", but what the heck can you do with a 2.4 million dollar name(or rights)? Tell you what, you can buy my name of a bargain basement price of....let's see...a...$950,000.63!! WOW! you can't beat that?......can you??? (sniff)

I miss 'em too, Mr. Fat. I downloaded 108 Albums and over 300 Singles from them, AND, *AND*, I had many one-to-one personal chats with the fine folks I was downloading from. Frig. (sniff) They (Nappy) were great while they lasted, huh? (sniff) [[wiping eyes]]. And it was *terrific* being able to peruse (examine) my fine colleagues' hard drive directories too! (For scooping up whole albums). I had many a late-nite chat with gents as far away as South America!!! -- Klingy --
