	Justin Frankel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Frankel sold Nullsoft to AOL in 1999 for $86 million.
		Gnutella was a new peer-to-peer file-sharing system like the original Napster system, which was used by users to share their MP3 collections with everyone who ran a Napster client.
		Since AOL was at the time merging with Time Warner, Gnutella seemed like a conflict of interest to Nullsoft's parent company, who knew that Time Warner was one of the parties who was taking legal action against Napster at the time.

	d2r: nullsoft does it again
		Just as with Gnutella, Nullsoft released something that AOL pulled out but not before the code got into the wild.
		And the name has the added advantage of having a literary reference: WASTE was the name of the secret communications network (based on the US postal system) in Pynchon's classic The Crying of Lot 49.
		Nullsoft is the exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in the Software.

	Nullsoft, 1997-2004 - AOL kills off the last maverick tech company. By Paul Boutin
		Not that you could really blame AOL for the mass layoffs—all of Nullsoft's projects were spitballs tossed at the honchos upstairs.
		Before the AOL days, Nullsoft founder Justin Frankel and his team of whiz kids practically invented the MP3 craze when they rolled out their Winamp player and Shoutcast server.
		With Nullsoft gone and Frankel spending his time building a special-effects computer for his electric guitar, the old Winamp/Gnutella gang probably won't get back together for one more hit.

		You may recall that Nullsoft, a geeky and talented group of programmers from Arizona who conceived both the Winamp MP3 player and Shoutcast, was purchased last summer by AOL.
		Justin Frankel, the wunderkind founder of Nullsoft and reticent icon of the geek world, is now estimated by the Wall Street Journal to be worth $70 million.
		The Gnutella software and documentation mysteriously disappeared from Nullsoft's Web site on Tuesday; Pepper told News.com that the program was removed because the beta program was full (Slashdot fans had apparently deluged the site) and the software wasn't ready for public consumption.

		The marriage of Nullsoft and AOL was always one of discontent.
		After AOL acquired the small company in 1999 for around $100 million, the young team of Winamp developers was assimilated into a strict corporate culture that begged for rebellion.

		After a disappointing Winamp3, Nullsoft developers returned to the drawing board and completed long-standing goals with the release of Winamp 5.0 in late 2003.
		Nullsoft's Shoutcast, which pioneered audio streaming over the Internet, is called "the Net's best secret" by its creator Tom Pepper and has reached 170,000 simultaneous users accounting for 70 million hours of listening each month.
		I am not here to say that Nullsoft is bad or not, whever they did more good or bad, but to state what kind of people they are, and by far not heros they proclaim to be.

		Nullsoft released Winamp3 last year, offering an ambitious reworking of its popular MP3 player based on a homegrown programming language called Wasabi.
		At the same time, lingering tensions between Nullsoft and its corporate parent have been rocky, with Nullsoft co-founder Justin Frankel recently publishing comments on his personal Web site that indicated he was mulling leaving the company after repeated clashes with management over his programming projects.
		As Nullsoft struggles with the direction of Winamp, AOL is showing signs of cooperating more closely with Microsoft on digital media, having agreed a month ago to license the software giant's Windows Media software as part of a sweeping settlement of a private antitrust suit brought on behalf of its Netscape subsidiary.

		The announcement brings to a close a chapter in the annals of dot-com history, which began in 1999 when the then-20-year-old Nullsoft founder sold his company to AOL in a deal reportedly worth $100 million.

		Nullsoft is looking to create other avenues of revenue, including subscription-based customized radio stations utilizing its SHOUTcast technology for streaming audio.
		Nullsoft cannot afford to absorb these costs, so there could not be included in a free version even if they had a pay version or not.
		If nullsoft made winamp with some advanced audio related features that the end user decided if they needed those extra bells and whistles, then they would buy the "pro" version at a reasonable price.

		Nullsoft also founded the streaming community Shoutcast, which has provided an arena for small webcasters for several years, providing 70m hours of radio a month.
		Nullsoft can also take the credit for AOL-disapproved projects such as P2P software Gnutella, which was released for one day only in source code form and WASTE, a decentralized encrypted file system named after Thomas Pynchon's secret postal service.
		Writing on his homepage, departing developer Steve Gedikian concluded, "At this point, I feel like I no longer have the power to make any positive impact on Winamp." He speculates that with only a skeleton staff, further development of Winamp is unlikely.

		Nullsoft has had its conflicts with AOL in the past, such as in 2000 when Frankel developed a music file-swapping technology called Gnutella.

		If AOL is killing Nullsoft, the least it could do is open up the source code to Winamp so that others can continue to develop something that AOL obviously doesn't care about any longer.

		At first blush it might seem that way, given the runaway success of Nullsoft's Shoutcast -- the high-quality streaming MP3 server that more or less allows anyone with a computer and a modem to launch his own digital radio station.
		Nullsoft created Winamp, the de facto standard MP3 player.
		Nullsoft's popularity can be attributed in part to MP3's near-CD quality sound, but also to the fact that the software is built atop an open, standardized compression technology.
