"A Fortune magazine article compared a Napster transfer to a transfer from a Web site. In discussing the latter, Fortune wrote that "the song you wanted was stored there on a server, and thousands of people might be trying to access the same track at once. No wonder overtaxed servers would often conk out before you could download a single note." However, if one machine in an office is running an HTTP server and the other is running Napster, it makes no sense to say that the Napster files are somehow stored and served in a fundamentally different way."
