Napster's Copy Protection Cracked

If you have nothing to do for the next 14 days you could, in theory, burn up to 252 80-minute CDs of music from Napster for free. Napster To Go offers unlimited downloads to a portable device for $15 a month. That seems like a good deal, but the catch is this: if you stop paying the monthly fee you lose access to your entire music collection. Also, if you want to burn any of your Napster music to CD you have to pay an additional 99 cents per track. So here's were the computer geeks with too much time on their hands come in -- they have figured out a fairly simple way to circumvent Napster's copy protection. Marv On Record offers a step-by-step how to here. Since Napster currently has a 14-day free trial period you could, theoretically, have a go at stealing tons of music from the company who made its name by facilitating internet piracy and only pay for the cost of CDRs.*
