After an official programmers' census, where each individual Supernode was queried, it was discovered that Morpheus had approximately One Million, Five Hundred Thousand simultaneous users, beating Napsters' all time peak, set earlier last spring, by somewhere between 50,000 & 250,000 users.

So Napsterites this means: Morpheus has now become the worlds' biggest file sharing application – ever!

Thanks to Fastrack and MusicCity, the programmers and marketers, for their wonderful (and tricky) product and the users (and posters!) for their support, without whom this would not have occurred.

It becomes clear, especially in these times, that anything working to erase borders and bring people together in a peaceful way is a positive force for everyone. That a little file sharing application can do both so well is a tribute to its' creators and the people on whose computers it is allowed to run.

So congratulations to MusicCity & All The Morpheus Faithful, and a special thanks to the coders and users of ALL the file sharing applications with particular emphasis on the P2Ps but I especially need to thank SHAWN FANNING and NAPSTER, without whose insight and perseverance none of this would have been possible.

To exceed Napsters' numbers in no way lessens that singular achievement. Indeed, it is an extension of it. We're now adding to the global foundations Napster built.
