Overview: Efforts by leading record labels to fill the void they created by shutting down Napster led several to develop their own subscription online music service. Since the once popular music -swapping service, Napster, shut down as a result of the lawsuit brought against it by the major recording companies, the labels have been struggling to fill the massive void left in its wake. The growing demand for online music services has leaded the major companies to create their own channels for distribution. The result: MusicNet and PressPlay, two for-pay subscription services formed as a result of joint ventures between the major labels.
