Shawn Fanning talks about how, as a teenager, he founded the file sharing website Napster. His was an extraordinary but shortlived success. The site attracted millions of users but also became a target for the music industry. Founded in 1999, it was closed down in 2001. (Image: Shawn Fanning. Credit: AP Photo/George Nikitin)
