will go to Napster. They will finally be able to make money and be free from lawsuits. Over the past year, Napster has implemented a revolution for freedom on the Internet. The deal with an ISP would allow Napster to remain a medium for MP3 savvy users to get their groove on in the virtual world.As far as a loss for Napster, there really are not many. If Napster, Inc. formed a type of partnership with the ISP, they would have to conform to the regulations they require, as well as those presented by the Industry. If Napster, Inc. were to simply sell the entire company, they may still be forced to cover the debts from previous lawsuits. So the amount of profit gained may not be worth selling.So, is Napster, Inc. going to sell out to an ISP, if they are even allowed to? Considering that the Industry is so fixed on wiping out Napster, it is hard to see the sale happening. Even if Napster was allowed to sell to an ISP, there is no guarantee that there will be cooperation from the record industry, let alone the revenues and resources to make it successful. Yet, in light of the fact that Napster has overcome even more overwhelming obstacles, I find it hard to believe that a situation like the ISP purchase cannot find some form of equilibrium....
