Winamp’s creator is fed up with AOL

Justin Frankel's company, Nullsoft, was one of several gobbled up by AOL, but he's apparently not happy about his company's latest development, Waste, being pulled as soon as it was released (below). Now, as CNet reports, he has posted a note on his personal Web site saying: "The company controls the most effective means of self-expression I have. This is unacceptable to me as an individual, therefore I must leav" (sic). Nullsoft produced Winamp and Gnutella.
