Yapster?
dir.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Internet/ peer_to_peer_file_sharing/- Music lovers - not to mention the lawyers and rock groups who want to sue them - will be intrigued by the 25 sites at Yahoo's new category listing: "Digital Distribution." They'll especially love the sub-category: "Peer-to-Peer File Sharing." The phrase "peer-to-peer file sharing" has a nice ring to it, but essentially it's a high-class way of saying: "Hey, everybody! Here's a list of places where you can swap music online for free."
