Napster Calls MusicNet Monopolistic; Judge Agrees
MattW writes "Yahoo is carrying an article from the AP about a development in ongoing Napster litigation. Several major labels and RealNetworks formed MusicNet. Napster complained about an anti-competitive clause in the contract they signed with MusicNet, and Marilyn Hall Patel, best known to this community for her stern condemnation of Napster, agreed, stating that MusicNet had all the hallmarks of an anticompetitive business. The article goes on to state that, "If the recording industry was found to have misused its copyrighted material, it might not be able to successfully pursue an infringement claim on those works.""
Damn it - I logged in, but it still took these as AC comments... :(

If you're going to gripe about spelling in Slashdot, it's like peeing in the ocean.
:)
And if you're going to suggest someone should get a -5 Stupid for saying something wrong that is actually correct (Sting did sing in that song), what does that say about you?
If every post that had spelling mistakes or grammatical errors was modded down, very few posts would ever get seen. The best way to comment on spelling and grammar (and facts!) is to try to set a good example and not make mistakes yourself...
...otherwise your going to loose you're mind in this place.
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
I'd prefer a case of alien bites human, injects a spore, which eats the human from the inside out in excrusiating pain, which eventually kills them.

Call me a cynic will you
I do believe the Judge can pinch-hit for a lawyer. Rumor has it that most judges are lawyers, or at least were.
BTW, this is wickedly great news, but a bit too late to save Napster. It is, tho... vengeance.
