Napster pre-lawsuit was a company that ran central servers that managed peer-to-peer connections for copying music. Napster today is a company that sells subscriptions that allow you to download DRM-laden music from the company (not peer-to-peer) and play it as long as you keep paying.

Those two services are about as unrelated as they can be and still involve music. Napster liquidated its assets after filing bankruptcy. Roxio bought the assets (including the name and logo) to brand their unrelated service.
