DOJ Cracks Down on Napster's Fake Backer

The Department of Justice has launched a probe into Infinite Reality, the company behind Napster's recent $207 million acquisition. It appears that the investor who backed the deal was never actually affiliated with the company. This revelation raises serious questions about Infinite Reality's legitimacy and its plans for the beloved music platform.

The Napster brand has been through many hands over the years, from Roxio to Best Buy to Hivemind. Each new owner has promised to bring the platform back to life, but so far, only Sony Music has seen fit to take drastic action against the service. It's unclear how much money Infinite Reality actually invested in Napster, or whether its plans for a social and interactive music platform are still on track.

The DOJ's investigation into Infinite Reality is just the latest development in a long and winding road for Napster. With so many companies coming and going, it's hard to know what to believe about the company's true intentions. One thing is clear: Napster's future is more uncertain than ever.
