Napster

Ruling could doom Napster A federal court ruled yesterday that Napster must stop allowing users to swap copyrighted music. Napster officials said they would keep operating while they fought in court. Napster was created by a teenager in 1999. Napster's software lets computer users trade audio files by connecting with one another. The music is all for free. You don’t have to make any payment to the artists or record companies who produced the music. …showed first 75 words of 306 total…

…showed last 75 words of 306 total…not fair to Napster. The article said the Napster “knowingly helped its users violate the copyrights of artists and music labels”. But when you become a user of Napster, they specifically say that these music files are strictly for backup purposes only. They also say that if you don’t have the original copy, you are not allowed to download the file. It is not Npaster fault that people are using the music files illegally.
