When I was in college, downloading music was just coming to fruition and we all know that back then, there was only one place to go to do it: Napster.
It was the coolest thing ever. Any song you wanted was a click and 20 seconds away and best of all, it didn't cost you a penny.
But September 24th, 2001, Napster was shut down due to legal struggles with the RIAA and the days of uninhibited downloading had come to an end - or had they?
Apparently not.
Shortly after Napsters demise I found Kazaa and Morpheus, two services which had popped up and filled the void in the free download world. They were ok but filled with annoying ads and had a high risk of infecting your computer with some sort of sickness.
But now, in 2008, we have Limewire.
To me, Limewire is every bit as good as Napster ever was. No ads, any song you could want is there, and best of all, all free.
So how is it my friends that 7 years after Napsters end I can still get any song I want online any time I want it without paying a penny?
A mystery to me.

I have NO idea, but what I do know is that Napster is STILL out there and over the weekend, we got a call from our Credit Card Fraud people saying that our card had been used 12 times for 12 $1 charges over the last 4 weeks at napster.com.
Who does this $hit!!!
you're still living in the stone age, man. Bit Torrent is the way to go now.

This is Dustin, by the way. In case you thought it was spam again.
Okay, I tried to do this on my own, with the help of a programing friend, but I need your help.
I want your counter! =)
So I went to the link and it gave me the html code, but now I have no idea where to place the dang thing!
I've tried at the top, I've tried at the bottom, I know I am doing something wrong. Can you help?
