The site, in 2004
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 2004: A paid subscription service owned by Roxio, which bought the name and technology in 2002.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
