Some believe that subtle differences in method will help them beat litigation, although the term "vicarious copyright infringement" tends to sum up the reason for, say, Gnutella's existence just as well as Napster's. But until those services get fat enough on Napster's users to catch the eye of the Big Five music labels (Sony, Warner, BMG, EMI and Universal) and their lawyers, there is such a thing as a free lunch...
