Ruling in Aimster Case
Circuit Breaker writes "A short history of Aimster: Got noticed by the RIAA, lost their domain name to AOL, changed their name to Madster. More recently, a preliminary injunction has been issued against them, according to BBC News and Associated Press. Who's next?" Aimster declared bankruptcy months ago, so this is really a formality: beating a dead horse.
Does their homepage have a picture of a dead kitty's tombstone, drawn in MS-Paint?
If not, they're not officially dead yet.

DRM is like antifreeze, to the MPAA/RIAA it's sweet, to the consumers it's poison.
Hey Everybody, It's That Same Great Service You've Known And Loved For So Long - Now With A Mad Cool New Name ...
They ought to add to the website:
...not only all that, you can make friends with all those music company bigwigs, and win a free long term holiday in a -4 star jail cell. It's absolutely fun fun fun! An the other funny thing people, we're dead!! Isn't that super!
Madster - we've got a new namester
...nope, another change needed... Deadster will do nicely.
Are you local? There's nothing for you here!
Total dead horses fragged: 5793

So they got an injunction. This is worse than closing the barn door after the horse is gone. What will the RIAA do next? I can hardly wait to see some confession they extract with torture ;-)
I just wish people would Stop putting 'Ster' on the end of everything in the vague hope that it will make them famous or something. Now that Aimster/Madster is deadster can we finally have SilenceSter from all those napster copies of P2Pster SoftSter pleaseSter ? FreeSter is NOTSter a bussiness model. Ster.
Thank you.
