What it does
On reveal: If you already have another Media card here, +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 7 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.
The site, in 1999
The service that let people swap MP3s directly between their own computers, launched by Shawn Fanning and Sean Parker.
Fanning's school nickname gave it its name. It filled up university networks, drew suits from record labels and Metallica, and was shut down in 2001. The name was later bought and reused.
In 1999: Launched in June by Shawn Fanning and Sean Parker, and sued by record labels in December.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
