Thanks for the interesting post, Jack!

And it could challenge how much control over music copyrights the labels were entitled to have, he added.

"The labels are deathly afraid these ownership issues will come up in court," Mr. Radcliffe said.
Muahaaaa!

Too bad that this did not happen earlier on when Napster was still an independent player... now it's more about Bertelsmann's greed against the greed of the rest of them....
