Guardian: Napster rises from the grave… again

Controversial song swapping site Napster, the former nemesis of the music industry, is set to relaunch before the end of the year with whizzkid founder Shawn Fanning back on board.

Roxio, the US software company that bought the Napster brand in a fire sale late last year, has revealed it plans to relaunch the site as a paid-for download service before the end of the year.
