Napster
suit irks students
With more than 32 million users waiting in
anticipation.
Napster returned to court on Monday, Oct. 2,
to appeal the decision that could lead to the music file-sharing program’s demise.
"I don’t agree with the lawsuit
because Napster isn’t breaking copyright laws, the users are," said senior
Lauren Casey. "There is no way to regulate it."
Napster and the Recording Industry
Association of America appeared in the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reach a
decision that will decide Napster’s fate.
"We are very grateful for the
opportunity to have our case heard before the Ninth Circuit and look forward to the
court’s decision," said Napster CEO Hank Berry in a press release.
"We strongly believe that members of the
Napster community who share music on a person-to-person non-commercial basis are not
violating any law."
The RIAA is suing Napster because they
believe that the company is infringing on copyright laws.
They feel that Napster is illegally using
copyrighted property. Continued.. |
