"Roxio's motivations are still slightly unclear, but the company has taken various steps towards media distribution during the last year or so. One such example is the fact that Roxio is one of the resellers of Pressplay, an online music subscription service. So, wild guess would be that Roxio will use Napster's name and domain to create a legal media distribution site based on its partners' media offerings."

So I think that'll be just riding with a good name (Napster) for "legal" marketing of chargeable media (just music, nothing else). Just like PressPlay (Microsoft's partner) does now...
Free trial for 14 days withpaypal account (must have Visa or American Express etc..), then if not break with !phone-call!, the charging will begin and it's hard to get rid of it...
Peace for ManKind and Kind Man (and Roxio as a good busibess-company now having rights to ECD5 and WinOnCD etc...)
