It started with Parker and Fanning

To some, they were pioneers of a revolution. To others, the owners of music file-sharing service Napster were no better than online terrorists, hijacking one of the biggest industries in the world by offering music to fans for free. Now the story of Napster, told from both sides of the debate, has been made into a documentary by director Alex Winter - famous for being one half of movie duo, Bill and Ted. The film, called Downloaded, had its world premiere at the SXSW music and film festival in Texas this week. It was attended by the entrepreneurs who started Napster - 34-year-old Sean Parker, who went on to co-finance the brands Facebook and Spotify, and 32-year-old Shawn Fanning, who is also a Silicon Valley investor. The film documents how the pair became friends as teenagers in an internet chatroom, and discovered a shared love of music, as well as a talent for emerging online technology. I'm sure it will be worth the ticket price if and/or when it gets released. Also up for release is the soul of jazz band leader Terry Lightfoot, who has died at the age of 77 after a battle with prostate cancer. Lightfoot, who was born in Potters Bar but settled in Olney in Buckinghamshire, had been touring for most of the time from the 1950s up until last year. In that time, he had played alongside greats such as Louis Armstrong and Lonnie Donegan. His death comes less than two weeks after that of trumpeter Kenny Ball, who started his career playing in the Terry Lightfoot's Jazzmen band. In other news, the first woman mayor of Peru's capital Lima, Susana Villaran, has narrowly survived a recall vote to depose her from office.
