...scanned the music magazines and surfed the web for music news this week, but it seems everyone's been caught up in industry-talk, such as Clive Davis being replaced by L.A. Reid (co-founder of LaFace Records) at Arista Records, or Metallica producing a list of more than 300,000 people who traded Metallica songs over Napster.

The suit, which was filed by Metallica, E/M Ventures and Creeping Death Music, claims that by failing to block student access to the Napster servers, Yale University, Indiana University and the University of Southern California violated the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statute. Such a claim should not be allowed to stand. Although the majority of MP3 files are illegal copies of protected music, online distribution of free music is growing, and there are few channels...
