E nānā i kahi pōkole i ka loliʻana o kaʻaha Napster i nā Makahiki
Ma mua o ka hoʻokumu 'ana i ka mele kelepona i mua o Napster i kēia mau lā, heʻokoʻa loa kona i ka wā i hoʻomaka mua ai i ka halaʻana o nā makahiki 90. Ua hoʻokumu nā mea hoʻolālā o Napster (nā kaikuaʻana Shawn a me John Fanning, a me Sean Parker) i ka lawelaweʻana ma keʻano he mea launa pūnaewele pāʻani ( P2P ). Ua maʻalahi ka hoʻohanaʻana i ka polokalamu polokalamu ma ka hoʻohanaʻana i nā faila leo mele (ma ka MP3 format ) ma'ō o kahi pūnaewele pūnaewele.
Ua kaulana loa ka lawelaweʻana a ua hāʻawiʻia he ala maʻalahi no nā miliona o nā mea hoʻohana pūnaewele e hiki ai ke komo i ka nui o nā leka uila liʻiliʻi (ka nuinga o nā mele) i hiki ke hāʻawi likeʻia me nā poʻe o Napster. Ua hoʻomaka muaʻiaʻo Napster i ka makahiki 1999 a ua ala kokeʻo ia ma ka laulaha i kaʻikeʻana o nā mea'Ikewele i ka nui o kaʻoihana. ʻO nā mea i makemakeʻia e hui pū me kaʻenehana Napster,ʻo ia ka hanaʻana i kahi helu kūikawā (ma o ka inoa inoa a me ka hua'ōlelo). Ma kahi kiʻekiʻe o ka kaulana o Napster, aia 80 miliona poʻe i hoʻopaʻa inoa ma kāna pūnaewele. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, he mea koʻikoʻi ia i nā papa he nui e kāohi i ka hoʻohanaʻiaʻana o Napster ma muli o ka'eneke pūnaewele i hoʻokumuʻia e nā haumāna i ka loaʻaʻana o ke mele ma o ka hoʻokaʻawaleʻana i ka pūnaewele peer-a-peer.
ʻO ka pōmaikaʻi nui loa no nā mea hoʻohana he nui loa nā mele i hiki ke hoʻoiliʻia no ke kaʻawale. Ma kahi o kēlā me kēiaʻano mele mele i pāpāʻia ma ka MP3 MP3 - e loaʻa ana mai nā punaewele e like me nā kāpeka cassette analog, nā mele vinyl, a me nā CD. ʻO Napster kekahi mea waiwai nui no nā poʻe e nānā nei e kiʻi i nā kiʻi mele, nā papaleko bootleg, a me nā mea paʻi hou loa.
Eia naʻe,ʻaʻole i hoʻopauʻia ka lawelaweʻana o ka waihona pūnaewele Napster i kēlā manawa no ka nele o ka mana i ka hoʻololiʻana o nā mea kope i kā lākou pūnaewele. Ua hoʻomaka kokeʻia nā hana kūpono ma Napster ma ka radar o ka RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) nāna i waiho i kahi hoʻopiʻi kū'ē iā ia no ka hāʻawiʻoleʻiaʻana o nā mea kope kope. Ma hope o ka hoʻouka kaua lōʻihi, ua loaʻa i ka RIAA kahi palapala kauoha mai nā aloaliʻi i koi ai iā Napster e pani i kāna pūnaewele i 2001 no ka maikaʻi.

Ua'āponoʻia kēia e kaʻaha banekorupa i ka makahiki 2002 e nānā ana i ka hoʻoholoʻiaʻana o nā waiwai o Napster. Ua hōʻike kēia hāʻina i kahi māhele hou ma ka moʻolelo o Napster. Me kona loaʻa hou, ua hoʻohanaʻo Roxio i ka inoa ikaikaʻo Napster e hoʻomanaʻo hou i kāna hale kūʻai mele PressPlay a kapaʻiaʻo Napster 2.0.

Uaʻike nā Napster brand i nā loli he nui i loko o nā makahiki, me ka loaʻaʻana o kekahi mau mea i loaʻa mai ka makahiki 2008.ʻO ka mea mua loaʻo ka Best Buy o kaʻaeʻana, kahi waiwai he $ 121 miliona. I kēlā manawa, ua hōʻikeʻia he 700,000 mea e kākau inoa ana i nā mea kūʻai i ka poʻe kelepona i nā mea keleponaʻo Napster. I ka makahiki 2011, ua hoʻokomo 'ia ka mele mele ma Randyody, me ka Best Buy e loaʻa nā mea kākau Napster me' kekahi mau waiwai '. ʻAʻole i hōʻikeʻia nā kumukūʻai o ka hōʻailona, akā uaʻaeʻia kaʻaelike iʻoi aku kūʻaiʻoi aku no ka mālamaʻana i kahi kuhi ma Rhapsody . ʻOiai ua hala aku ka inoaʻo Napster i ka US, aia nō ka lawelawe ma lalo o ka inoa Napster ma United Kingdom a me Kelemānia.
