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.

Aimster Info

[Evro]

I used to work at Aimster; for some more info about how they shafted their employees (similar to Loki I guess), read some of my old Journal entries:

• Fuck Aimster
• My Semi-Complete Aimster Saga
• Life Goes On, Sort Of - special bonus material: AIM chat with Aimster/BuddyUSA/Pi 2 CEO John Deep
• Aimster's proposed "settlement" of the money they owe me.

Also worthy of note is this site that John Deep has set up, ostensibly for his daughter to write about all her "knowledge" of the music industry; I'd put 10 to 1 odds that it's John himself writing that garbage, and 100 to 1 that it's not his daughter. The site is www.musicpundit.com.
