Dell and Napster Team Up To Deliver Music To Students

"Dell and Napster have teamed up to offer discounted computers, software, and digital music for U.S. college students, in the name of legal Internet music downloading. It's a proposition from two companies steeped in college and music file sharing lore. Michael Dell launched his personal computer business in a university dorm room. Napster is the namesake of the software and file-sharing network created by college freshman Shawn Fanning that started the whole music downloading craze. His Napster was shut down after clashes with entertainment industry lawyers, only to be founded again as a house of good repute for legal, for-pay, digital music."
A smooth move by Dell. Napster supplies the music, while Dell provides the backend hardware, and I'm sure selling its service and support as well. A good win for both companies, and perhaps a glimpse of things to come. Dude, you're gettin a....well you get the idea. :wink:
