Napster is informing the banned-per-Metallica-request users that they can file a legal notice of counternotification (under penalty of perjury) with Metallica's counsel. If Metallica does NOT pursue legal action against the user within 10 working days, the user is entitled to reinstatement on Napster.
Interesting...just how far will Metallica go if a few hundred (or a few thousand) of those 335,000 banned users file counternotifications? Will they pick one or two with which to make examples?
The article also discusses - gasp! - the FTC's investigation of artificially inflated CD prices...
