The Napster Shutdown Order
Maarten Goldstein
91
As a follow up to the recent Napster events that almost led to the shut down of Napster while waiting for the trial (story 1, story 2) on Yahoo. The judge who had granted the preliminary injunction has now released the details as of why she did that. Napster has to deliver papers this week that show why the judge was wrong in her decision.

"Indeed...(Napster) has contributed to a new attitude that digitally downloaded songs ought to be free--an attitude that creates formidable hurdles for the establishment of a commercial downloading market," [judge] Patel wrote.

If Napster doesn't come up with a good reason as of why they shouldn't be shut down, they still will be and Napster will be pretty much dead as the trials with the RIAA could take a very long time.
