Napster Lawsuits Music & MP36/5/2000; 7:16:32 AM April 19, 2000: Adding to yesterday's essay... consider the lawsuits against Napster. (Metallica and a probable one by Dr. Dre) The thing is, all Napster does is blindly index what's being made available on the service, by file name. If we hold them responsible for the use their service is put to, we'll open the door in this country to what I talked about in the essay.It might seem despicable to "let" them get away with what they're doing, but Napster-the-company is not the problem, it's the ones distributing the MP3's. It's not like it's hard to find the distributors with the right tools.(And enough with the companies with the same name as their only product! I'm sick of the confusion!)
