  1. The record companies have based their case on the argument that Napster was created specifically for the purpose of trading copywritten material. In reality, Napster does not store any pirated music on its servers, and thus isn’t directly breaking any laws. The RIAA has used the argument that Napster “facilitates” piracy, kind of like a person who steers someone to a drug dealer. Of course, anyone with more than a few brain cells can see that Napster shouldn’t be shut down, but we are dealing with the U.S. government here, where brain cells few and actions are hasty.

    Napter, by the way, signed a $50 million deal with BMG, so it’ll continue to be around, probably a subscribe or pay-per-download service featuring BMG songs.
