Technology research firm Webnoize reported this week that the 1.6 million MP3 files that changed hands on Napster in April was a 36 percent drop from the March figure. Use of the popular song-swap service peaked in February, when MP3 collectors, aware of an impending legal injunction that threatened to close the site, exchanged 2.79 billion files. Through the month of March, that figure dropped to 2.49 billion, as Napster began to introduce filters to comply with a March 5 federal court order barring the exchange of copyrighted material. After the injunction, the five labels, represented collectively by the Recording Industry Institute of America, complained that users were easily able to get around the filters by modifying the spelling of the file names. Throughout the month of April, Napster continued to tighten its filters.
