The panel of three judges sent the injunction against the music-swapping service back to the District Court saying it was "overbroad" and requiring a redraft. That's the good news. The bad news was that judges rules that Napster violates copyright laws, a ruling the company's lawyers said they would appeal. (source: Cnet) http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-201-4774158-0.html |
