Wired: Napster's 'Safe Harbor' Sinks

"The recording industry continues its roll of legal victories, as a
federal judge on Friday rejected Napster's request for a summary
judgment which would have dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Recording
Industry Association of America."
"The RIAA filed a lawsuit against Napster on December 7 on the grounds
that the Napster application had created a safe haven for Internet
music piracy...."
"Any company using the safe harbor defense must first show that it
provides online services and has adopted and implemented a policy
providing for termination of users who violate copyright laws, said
Broussard.'
