The Shape Of Napster To Come

The New York Times ("It's Back. But Can the New Napster Survive?"):

At most, Napster's new agreements will produce a service similar to BuyMusic.com. Rather than accept the tightest set of restrictions that music labels had to offer, BuyMusic.com chose to sell tracks for a range of prices, with varying degrees of access.

A result is that some songs move with iTunes-like ease, while others have as little mobility as Rapunzel.
