First Napster filed for bankruptcy. Then the news broke this week that Bertelsmann, which offered to buy Napster for $ 9 million, might nevertheless pull the plug. Now the AP, ZDNet & others report that the bankruptcy judge won't even allow Bertelsmann to buy Napster. And no one else was interested.
Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be
lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition.
