Music biz backs anti-Napster MP3 sniffer-outer

The music industry today gave its backing to software that allows
punters to do its dirty work for it.
The software, called Songbird, allows users to search for songs on
the Napster network (you have to be a registered Napster user to
perform the search). It is aimed at copyright owners who want to see
which of their songs are being shared.

Songbird is free, but we note that Media Enforcer is very quick to
try and sell you a $50 upgraded version that will also search
Gnutella and adds movies and other digital media to the list of
searcheable files.
