Bericht aan de Napster Community van Hank Barry, Napster.com CEO:
"As you know, the recording industry has sued Napster in order to shut us down. Wednesday in federal court, the Judge issued an order that basically would have the effect of shutting down the Napster service as it currently exists.
We will appeal the Judge's ruling to the Court of Appeals and will ask the Court of Appeals this morning to stay the Judge's order during the appeal.
If we do not get a stay, then we have until midnight Friday to comply with the Judge's order. Although we strongly and firmly disagree with the Judge's decision, we will comply with that decision if it is not stayed.
The Judge's ruling is essentially this: that one-to-one non-commercial file sharing violates the law. We will fight this ruling in a variety of ways to keep the Napster community growing and strong. We will keep you informed and we will ask for your help. Please check our web site and our application for updates and what you can do.
We intend to see this through in every venue, in every court. We believe in Napster and we believe in the Napster community. Thank you for your support."
