Growth, as the source summarises it
Napster may be growing as it has recently established new partnerships with SoundExchange and another company, which could indicate an expansion of its business operations and potential increases in revenue streams. These partnerships, especially in the context of the music industry, often aim to enhance service offerings and can lead to a more robust market presence. Additionally, being associated with a leading fraud detection company suggests that Napster is taking active steps to ensure the fair compensation of artists and rights holders, which may improve its reputation and trust within the industry.
