from the the-next-challenge dept

It seems trendy these days to figure out what the next Napster is going to be. The latest challenger appears to be AudioMill's BitBop. It's not a Napster clone, but rather an application that searches streaming radio stations to find the music that you want to hear - and has recording functionality. It's mainly this recording feature that brings up all sorts of legal questions - especially when compared to Streambox, the internet radio VCR sued out of existence.
