IT'S COME TO THIS: The last vestiges of Napster, the revolutionary file-swapping service of the late '90s, are available now for auction, including the computers and servers that originally created it. The company, which became the toast of the New Economy due to its revolutionary business model of giving away other people's intellectual property for free, declared bankruptcy earlier this year. But don't forget, if you want Napster's stuff you have to pay for it; it's not free.
