- Napster - now a dead network - was the original P2P network that brought P2P into the homes of almost all who owned a computer with an internet connection. The digital audion scene would never be the same. The RIAA sued and won a suit which effectively shut down Napsters servers and thus the network fell victim to the mighty music industry.
- First introduced circa 1999, the original Napster operated using a centralized directory, or index of files available for sharing. The directory was located on a centralized server (or set of servers), to which various individual user computers — or “peers” — could connect via the Internet. An individual user could download the Napster software, connect to the server, and then send a query for a particular file she wanted to obtain – such as a song title. The server would respond with information indicating which other peers had the file. The user who made the query could then request a copy of that file directly from the other peer, which would respond by providing the file itself.
- This music sharing community which is now a paid service was once free. All internet users had to do was download the software and get any mp3 music file they wanted. After a couple years, the Record Industry caught on to this, considered it piracy and took Napster to court. The result was Napster being shut down.
- Napster's brand and logo were purchased after the company closed its doors and continue to be used by a pay service.
