Napster success continues despite looming court case

NEWS Napster has broken into the 50 most popular internet sites, according to the latest figures from Media Metrix. Despite being in the middle of a potentially terminal lawsuit for allegedly violating copyright regulations, Napster has hit 47th position in the list. Napster recorded 5.4 million independent users in July, putting the file-swapping site above Sony Online and Barnes and Noble. However it still has a way to go to catch AOL, who recorded the most hits with over 80 million users logging on.
