Can sabotage save Napster's soul?

http://cgi.zdnet.com/slink?44501:8430877

Could a merry prankster's scheme to inject bogus MP3s into Napster
return the popular music file-sharing software to its roots? Some
Napster users might call the sonic sabotage a dirty trick, but in
"Fresh Gear" host Jim Louderback's opinion, it's a brilliant way
to break the music industry's iron grip and build a "meritocracy
of music."
