"Napster: The Music Revolution 25 Years Ago"

Napster, launched 25 years ago by Shawn Fanning and Sean Parker, revolutionized the music industry by enabling free file sharing, which led to widespread online piracy. Despite its short-lived initial run due to legal battles with the recording industry, Napster's influence paved the way for modern music streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music. Today, Napster operates as a subscription service, though it remains a minor player compared to its competitors.
