Napster - 2020/02/08 - Matteo's T-shirt A Day
Matteo bought this Napster t-shirt for a pirate themed fancy dress event…
This isn’t an original Napster t-shirt, but one I purchased a few years ago for a pirate themed fancy dress event…
Napster
Napster was a peer to peer file sharing service which was mostly used for sharing mp3 files. It famously ran into legal issues due to copyright claims and eventually was acquired and faded into the obscurity of the internet (a bit like iol.it…).
I used Napster back in the day before ISDN was a thing and had to do so over a dial up connection. It worked, barely.

Is 2008 already 12 years ago? Well it is a while until summer…
This t-shirt is now coming up to being 12 years old. The Lucca Summer Festival 2008 was an almost month-long series of concerts which featured quite a range of musicians and supporting acts.
I didn’t actually attend any of the concerts, but Candice’s father was working for Leonard Cohen at the time and gave us the t-shirt at some point.
The Lucca 2008 Summer Festival featured the following artists:
Patti Pravo (supported by Stefano Picchi) on July 5th
Sheryl Crow on July 6th
Erykah Badu (supported by Raffaele Spidalieri) on July 8th
Enzo Avitabile on July 11th
Mario Biondi (supported by Karima) on July 16th
