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 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.
