When an old and arrogant company or industry rails against new technology because they are afraid of change and lost profits and then loses market share or goes bankrupt because of their attitude.
A reference to the 1999 Napster snafu, in which illegally downloaded music brought the music industry to its knees and forever changed its face. Smart companies that saw the opportunity for profit in the new filesharing were not Napstered.

"These crazy book publishers are about to get Napstered if they don't start selling ebooks for reasonable prices."
"We own the market now, and our old competition got Napstered when they wasted all their energy fighting change."
"Apple is a company that saw an opportunity and took it. Too bad everyone else just got Napstered."

A formerly Peer-to-Peer file sharing network, but thanks to the RIAA it has since become legal and the files I download aren't compatible with my iPod

similar to trickster A black-ass, trick-ass nigga who is soooo dark that he or she shines and looks purple (not hard purple but barney purple). This delinquent (Generally named Latrell, Douglas, Brandyn, Keyshawn, or Mordecai) is always causing trouble or arousing some form of suspicion, especially from white people. Napster acts of nonsense include:
-Hittin' up the dollar menu at McDonald's three times a day.
-Spending all day at a KFC to distract fellow brothers (who work there) from their duties while scoring free biscuits.
-Walkin' into a Friendly Food Mart to purchase Funions and loose cigarettes at least three times a day.
-Startin' fights over a pair of shoes (generally nikes, jordans, or ice creams).
-Stealin' FREE samples from a Costco or Sam's.
-Startin' beefs over territory-mainly who has control of the local KFC(s).
-Startin' fights over who has a nappier afro.
-Stealin' your TV.
-Dancing in public and being boisterous.
-Drivin' around in a beat up ghetto cruiser (typically a shitty old buick, oldsmobile, or cadillac).
-Bumpin' shitty rap music (usually lil jon, chamillionaire, TI, yung joc, snoop, or ray cash) from 12 AM until 4 AM
-Writin' rap music instead of doing their homework and then complaining when they don't get into college and have to wash cars or sweep the floors at McDonald's for the rest of their lives.
-Beggin' for change on the street instead of just gettin' a damn job.
-Wearin' baggy-ass jeans, Big-ass t-shirts, and du-rags like they are tough so they can cover up the fact that they are soft.
-Blowin' their weekly paycheck, pending that they work, the day that they receive it on bling bling and burr.
-Flappin' their big, bubba lips in the wind.
-Playin' halo or supersmash brothers until 5 AM and then going to sleep until 6 in the afternoon.
-Skippin' school to play halo all day.
-Lyin' around and doin' nothin' productive wit society.
-Hidin' in a basement when their city takes on 20 feet of water.
-sniggin' about or actin' a foo 24 hours a day.
-Thinkin' they are the best dancers.
-Thinkin' they are the shit.
-Bein' a nugga.
-pickin' bugs outta each others afros.
-And, finally, complainin' about Bush winnin' the election even though they was too lazy to get out and vote.

Part of the "Let's hate Metallica" tren, in which case people were furious to have to spend another 10 minutes downloading a new free illegal file sharing program.

Formerly the name for the internet's premier file-sharing program. Now means to take a small nap where you don't actually usually fall asleep.
