Napster appeal granted -- 7:42 pm CST, Update by The Master

Napster has won a last minute reprieve in Appeals court today, which basically means the leaching goes on. I'm actually surprised they stayed the shutdown order, considering it's allowing blatant copyright violation. However, the court basically stated that the law is so muddled in this case that it needs careful review. No duh-the only reason this is being considered at all is the fact that the industry has allowed taping and copying for "personal use" for years, which in most cases of law means you've forfeited your copyrights. We'll see how this goes in court . . .
