Hi:  If you've been following the Napster case, this should be most 
interesting.  As I read it, the judge is letting the defendents into the 
Music Industry Closet.  Yippee!  Nothing but good things can come from that, 
eh?
Thanks,
Tom

Hi:  Am I reading this right?  Did the judge give Napster the leverage it
needs to examine Hollywood's litlle shell game of obfuscating "copyright" and
"recording right" crappoollla?  This could be a monumental threshold, in my
opinion.  Hope so, anyway.
Thanks, Tom

Judge Gives Napster Time to Prove Claims Against Companies
     U.S. District Judge Marilyn Hall Patel gave Napster Inc. nearly 10
months to prove its claim that the major record companies have misused
copyrights and impeded competition. Patel gave Redwood City, Calif.-based
Napster access to more of the labels' documents and executives than the
record companies had proposed, and much more time to prepare its case.
