Hi All,

June 1st, 2003
 Roxio acquires Pressplay
 
 
Roxio, the software company behind "Easy CD Creator" and "Record Now", has 
acquired majority ownership of Pressplay, an online music subcription service 
based in the states, from Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment. 
Roxio will be using this service's access to the major labels in the states to 
re-introduce the Napster brand according to this Official Press Release from 
Roxio. No news on a Canadian service has been released but all parties appear 
to be quite hopefull so I believe we will likely have access to the new Napster 
soon.
