Since Napster was founded there have been many more websites that you can receive music from. These new websites not only have shafting for music, they now have movies on digital versatile disc (DVD), and video games you can download by shafting. Napster was the company that started it all and is solely responsible for all the problems it has caused. This trend of shafting has caused problems for all of the artists. Such as seeing the sales numbers drop through the floor, and seeing someone else making millions of their property by putting ads on the web sites that display their music (Napster how far 3a) a reporter stated. They decided to slap a lawsuit on Napster. There were two main artists that stepped forward to say no more free shafting.
