As the game of cat and mouse heats up with the record labels. The labels know that unless Napster is stopped, it'll destroy the record labels. That doesn't stop Napster co-founder Sean Parker from feeling the vice grips closing in. By early 2000, Napster has 10 million users and a landmark copyright case from the RIAA and a court date with Metallica. It's survival of the fittest, and both sides are playing with fire.Support us by supporting our sponsors!Who's your next great hire? The smartest way to find them is at ZipRecruiter.com/BW.

Napster co-founders Shawn Fanning and Sean Parker finally get to Silicon Valley, where their dream for music sharing is supposed to take off. When word gets out about what Napster is doing, software programmers are literally banging on the doors, begging to work for Napster for free. Their idea is solid, but the finances are weak. It's time to incorporate and find investors. Shawn turns to draw up papers. To Shawn's shock, his uncle takes 70 percent of the company for the effort. And, as it turns out, it costs a lot of money to bring the world free music.Support this show by supporting our sponsors!David loves Lantana Hummus and so can you!

Joey Gale Ledlow was last seen in Phoenix, Arizona around 2:30PM on August 22, 2000. His wife, Rochelle, reported him missing when she was unable to find him. She was worried something terrible had happened because he wouldn't have left his young daughter, Amy, behind. A couple weeks later, Joey's truck was found abandoned and trashed in the desert. The detective handling Joey's case had a hunch about who may have been responsible for his disappearance but she was never able to prove it. Eighteen years have passed and Joey's case remains unsolved.If you have information regarding the disappearance of Joey Gale Ledlow, please contact the Phoenix Police Department Missing Persons Unit at (602) 534-2121 or phoenix.tips.ppd@phoenix.gov.This episode was sponsored by:Robinhood - Robinhood is giving listeners a FREE stock like Apple, Ford or Sprint to help build your portfolio!
