More Napster Lawsuits

by Steve Gibson Apr 18, 2000 4:06pm CST tags: Lawsuit, Wack News
Napster is catching a lot of flack lately. Most recently Metallica filed a lawsuit against the company, and most of you guys remember the proggy getting banned from a cablemodem company. Now Dr. Dre is 'lashing out' at Napster giving them till the end of the week to stop allowing his music. "Dr. Dre has not committed to suing them, but that would be the logical conclusion if they don't take it off their site"

``We wrote a letter yesterday on behalf of Dr. Dre to Napster basically putting them on notice that the listing of his songs and masters on Napster and the facilitation of the transfer of those files constitutes an infringement of his copyrights,'' said Howard King, an attorney who sent the letter on behalf of Andre Young, known as Dr. Dre.

While on the subject, here is an interview with the CEO of Napster. Thanks OxygenTank
