We will develop technology that transcends the individual user. We will firewall Napster at source - we will block it at your cable company, we will block it at your phone company, we will block it at your [ISP]. We will firewall it at your PC.” All this presuambly if napster win their legal case.Exactly how Sony think they can erase Napster [let alone stealth apps like Gnutella] in the digital os multiverse remains to be seen.
