Napster faces injunction halting music sharing service
A federal judge ordered Napster to stop trading copyrighted music, citing failure to police unauthorized file swaps. The ruling, sought by the Recording Industry Association of America, could shut down the service at midnight Friday and affect about 20 million users viewing a landmark clash over Internet patent rights and music rights. Napster plans to appeal. Metallica calls sharing effectively duplicating. The case cites ongoing downloads and a potential $5 million bond to cover losses during the shutdown.
