what's the dilleo with napster?

[target]

someone correct me if i'm totally screwed in the head and misunderstood this whole thing, but wasn't napster supposed to go down yesterday? i was cleaning up my drive and getting ready to delete it, then thought wtf, let's see if i can connect and i still can. http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/confused.gif

weren't they able to appeal?
At any rate, I have no use for it.

[target]

it still got deleted, no need for it when there's audiogalaxy. i just thought that the ultimatum was for last night. but maybe you're right with their appeals and all.

i heard they get a stay from the judge.i dunno

[jstreet]

The injunction that judge #1 ordered was supposed to take effect midnight on Friday, but Napster went for an emergency appeal which, shockingly enough, resulted in them being granted a stay by judges #2 and #3 - the only reason that they got it is because judge #1 (a real b!tch by most reports) ignored some legal precedents. I think their official court date is in a month, so we've got a month or so left before the inevitable.

keep an eye out on nap. if they go down, you know it's only a matter of time before audiogalaxy, scour exchange, winamp lockers, ans the like do too.

but (my real thoughts on the matter, for target,) you can't stop the net.
