Sean Parker is known as the bad guy of tech but in reality these two Napster cofounders are superstars in their own right. Their peer to peer music sharing website revolutionized the music industry. Although the website was bombarded with lawsuits the duo proved their point. And if you can get thousands to start disliking a brand like Metallica you sure must be doing something huge.
