> >> New York, NY -- September 14, 2000 - With Napster's final brief
> >> submitted to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, MusicDish is
> >> taking a retrospective on the most revolutionary event to have struck

> >> In December 1999, the Recording Industry Association of America filed
> >> a lawsuit against Napster, the California based file swapping
> >> company, accusing them of massive copyright infringement. Since then,
> >> we have witnessed a precedent-setting legal case unfold. With over 25
> >> million users, Napster is by far the most popular file-swapping sites
> >> and has created one of the most successful software in terms of ease
> >> of use and consumer adoption. The battle is for the definition of
> >> copyrights in the new technological millennium. As evidenced by the
> >> DVD cracking code case in New York to lawsuits against MP3.com and
> >> Scour, the RIAA and other interested parties have made it known that
> >> they will be defending their copyrights and the traditional legal
> > > interpretations of these copyrights to the fullest. While on the
> >> other end of the spectrum, companies such as Napster and MP3.com,
> >> have pushed the case for a logical revisiting of copyright rules to
> >> reflect the new dynamics & technological innovations of the
> >> 'Net-conomy.
> >>
> >> Since the lawsuit was filed against Napster by the RIAA on December
> >> 7th, MusicDish has taken an extensive look at the issues raised by
> >> this case, from the legal to the philosophical. Joyce Dollinger and
> >> Eric de Fontenay provide us with a detailed legal perspective of both
> >> sides. Ram Samudrala continues his ground-breaking views on music in
> >> "The RIAA vs. Free Music." David Weekly dovetails into the technology
> >> behind file swapping and where it will lead in "Client As Server: The
> >> New Model." In addition, artists join the discussion on a legal case
> >> that will affect them most.
> >>
> >> Finally, MusicDish presents its "Definitive Guide to Using Napster."
> >> Featuring tutorials on issues spanning "File sharing concepts," "Is
> >> it legal to use Napster?," "Limiting users access," and "Control your
> >> security," the guide provides a comprehensive overview of the
> >> controversial software.
