Legal Music Sharing Returns To MIT

Posted by timothy on Sunday October 24, 2004 @11:48PM from the swallows-to-san-juan-capistrano dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Two MIT students relaunched MIT's believed-legal music sharing network today, using a Linux-based consumer audio device that also launches today as a commercial product. The 'Library Access to Music Project' (LAMP) system was first launched a year ago, but shut down after its content supplier encountered legal hurdles. The re-incarnated LAMP is based on StreetFire Sound's RBX1600, which network-enables multiple inexpensive consumer audio jukeboxes. So... what do you think? Does the new version look legal?"

can always stand to throw enough .... lawyers

Now there's a thought. If you throw a lawyer at someone and miss, does the lawyer bounce? Or just make a nasty squelching noise?

Neither. He'll just send you a bill.
