MP3.com Sued for 'viral' Copyright Infringement?

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday August 22, 2001 @08:20AM from the what-exactly-is-this-now dept.

Are We Afraid writes "Apparently the RIAA isn't the only one looking to make money off of MP3.com. They have just been sued by a group of independent artists for, get this, "viral copyright infringement". What does that even mean???" They claim that people who downloaded MP3s from mp3.com contributed them to napster, so MP3.com owes them. It's really bizarre.

Obviously this bug will never be fixed.

The collective apathy level of the slashcode programmers is simply incredible. Last time I ever bother to help you guys out.

Mentioned in an article earlier. Database failure. As to the nature, no idea. Plus, it appears there is a problem with the database as the posts no longer start at #1. No first post anymore!
