Users have found a way to skirt copy protection on Napster Inc's portable music subscription service just days after its high-profile launch, potentially letting them make CDs with hundreds of thousands of songs for free.
Such users are already providing instructions to other would-be song burners through technology websites like BoingBoing.
Napster is currently offering a free trial of its new Napster To Go service, which will enable users for a monthly $US15 ($NZ21.21) fee to download as much music as they want and transfer it to a portable device. They can also pay 99 cents for each track they want to burn to a CD.
Full details here. Of course, that would also mean using Napster, which I'm not prepared to advocate. But this at least instills the original Napster spirit, don't'cha think?
