Last-minute rush as Napster ruling looms

Fans of the song sharing service Napster have logged on by the tens of thousands for a last-minute grab at music they fear a US court may knock offline.

Nearly 10,000 users logged on to just one of Napster's 100-plus computer servers on Saturday sharing nearly two million free MP3 song files, according to the website. A sample use last July saw 7,300 users sharing 800,000 files.
