>It's crazy to think of all the energy that went into building great services like Napster, Audiogalaxy, and Soulseek, only to see them shut down by lawsuits.
Sure, though the same can be said for drug cartels too.
If record companies had put their efforts into turning just one of these services into a legal alternative (without completely ruining it), they'd be in the position Apple is in today with iTunes.
Actually they tried, and they didn't go anywhere. Napster was turned into a legal service, as was mp3.com.
