Shawn Fanning is most widely-known for being one of the co-founders of Napster, one of the first popular peer-to-peer filesharing platforms in 1998. Since his Napster days, Shawn has been busy programming and finding new ways to innovate the Web’s landscape.

In 2006 Shawn developed Rupture, a social networking tool designed to handle the task of publishing gamers’ individual profiles to a communal space and facilitating communication between players of the popular online game, World of Warcraft. In 2008, SNOCAP was acquired by imeem and Rupture was later acquired by international video game developer, marketer, publisher and distributor, Electronic Arts.

In 2003 Fanning founded the company SNOCAP, a digital rights and content management startup used as an end-to-end provider of digital licensing and copyright management services for digital music.

Despite being associated with Napster, Shawn has continued to help push and adapt the digital landscape of gamers and programmers around the world.
