> What did Napster unveil today?
> Napster unveiled the business model for its new membership-based service.
> This business model has not changed substantially for the last six months
> and has been presented to all the major labels. The technology has been
> under development since prior to the October 31, 2000 agreement. The new
> Napster will make payments to major labels, songwriters, and independent
> artists.

> How much revenue could be generated for the recording industry and how did

> Napster's proposal will provide $1 billion to the major labels,
songwriters
> and independent labels and artists over 5 years. Major labels will receive
> $150 million per year for a non-exclusive license, divided according to
> files transferred. For example if the transfers were evenly divided among
> five major labels, each would receive $30 million. $50 million per year
will
> be set aside for independent labels and artists to be paid out based on
the
> volume of transfers.
>
> How will the rightsholders for each track get paid?
> Labels will receive a lump sum payment, $30 million per year, for a
> non-exclusive license. Independent labels and artists will be paid based
on
> the basis of the number of transfers over the system out of a fund of $50
> million per year.
>
> How do you know that Napster users will pay?
> Our research strongly suggests that a high percentage of Napster users are
> willing to pay. We will not be certain until we actually begin charging,
but
> we do know that Napster has become an important part of daily life for a
lot

>
> What will the pricing structure be?
> Napster is planning a tiered membership model that includes a "Basic
> Membership" plan and a "Premium Membership" plan. Definitive pricing has
not
> been set. However, Napster is looking at a price range of $2.95 to $4.95
per
> month for the Basic membership that would have a monthly file transfer
> limitation built in. The Premium membership, which could cost between
$5.95
> and $9.95 per month would offer unlimited file transfers.

> When is the new service launching?
> This summer.

> Why are you unveiling this now?
> You might have noticed that we got some pretty bad news last week from the
> court of appeals. Now that the industry has the legal precedent they were
> seeking, it is time to reach an agreement. The RIAA has been saying the
> consumer comes first, the consumer comes second, and the consumer comes
> third. If the industry has the consumer, and their own bottom line in
mind,
