| Legitimizing was a bad idea in the first place... Most people equate Napster with free music, most of those probably also connect this all with copyright infringement, court cases, etc.
In legitimizing Napster, I think the majority make the wrong conclusion... ie, not that Napster has cleaned its act up but that the "legal technicalities" that caused the original service to be illegal have somehow been addressed, legitimizing their original business model...
The next leap in logic is that if Napster is now legal then it's only a matter of time for other file trading services to also become legal.
My scientific polling of 3 individuals shows this to be true for 67% of adults. 
The bottom line is that Napster, IMO, is irrevocably tied to copyright infringement.
