This exactly how I have felt. These MASSIVE ones with FULL movies just can't stay in business. And someone responded to your post Toby with people just move on. When I was in college napster was awesome. It had pretty much everything you wanted and then some and the ease of access to it was that even girls that weren't computer savvy AT ALL could get on and download music they wanted. Now yes there are other things, limewire, etc. but none match the ease of use and MASSIVE amount of content napster did back in the day.

That's just my 2 cents.
Lets hope it happens sooner rather than later.
