napstinence

Abstaining from naps for a prolonged period of time.
I have been practicing napstinence ever since I had to pick up the second shift at work. I cannot even find time for a 20 minute nap!

The Napsterization of Singapore Math

When digital pirates from notorious copyright-violating countries like India, Pakistan, and Nigeria are blatantly sharing Singapore math e-books, students’ and teachers’ resources, and textbook solutions; or are selling them at a fraction of their actual prices.
To tens of thousands of students and teachers in the developing world, the Napsterization of Singapore math looks more like the democratization rather than the illegal dissemination of Singapore math materials to help raise their quantitative literacy at zero costs or for the price of a few megabytes.

napster

You can all thank the RIAA for Napster's death, because its incredibly stupid and costly efforts to destroy Napster have helped make file trading far more popular than ever.
If only the corporate fatasses empraced Napster instead of killing it. Now they can't do a goddamn thing about stopping all those bootleggers and hackers they pissed off.

Napstered

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."
