The music sharing platform imeem thrived from 2004 until its shuttering
in 2009 as a safe haven in the wilds of the semi-legal Internet. It was
Napster without the piracy, a legal space for music makers and fans to
share bedroom composition, videos of their latest dance moves, and the
latest streamed — not downloaded — hits. Though many of its 25
million-plus users enjoyed imeem as a way to hear brand new cuts from
the likes of
Lil Wayne and
Katy Perry,
others employed it as a dynamic library: a site where historical music
could be curated and discussed, and portraits of long-standing
subcultures could emerge, document by primary document.

They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
