The founders of napster Shawn Fanning and Sean Parker could be considered nerds in the sense that they were highly skilled and enthusiastic about technology. Both individuals demonstrated a deep understanding of computer systems and programming, which enabled them to create Napster. The platform launched in 1999, revolutionized digital music sharing, enabling peer-to-peer file sharing of MP3s. However, it faced legal battles due to copyright infringement, leading to its shutdown in 2001. It paved the way for legal digital music platforms but left a lasting impact on the music industry's digital transformation. ENJOY ;)
