    No, no it is not, an unrelated company bought the brand and logos at bankruptcy auction and started Napster 2.0, a rebrand of an unrelated music service, which was then bought by Best Buy and became Rhapsody, then THAT was sold to some tech companies and unified branded as Napster again. It has no connection other than branding to the original Napster.

        There’s ship of Theseus and then there’s Theseus threw out the whole ship, bought a used ship from someone else but it was still called the ship of Theseus because it was, literally, the ship of Theseus, but you still wouldn’t say THE ship of Theseus was still alive and well.
