...interpretation cannot be called “palpably erroneous,” as the appeals judges did. Expressing disappointment in the judges’ ruling, D. Yvette Wohn, a Harvard Extension School student assisting Nesson with public relations, said the recording industry is stuck in an age where music came on a CD and could be expressly owned and sold. “Broadcasting this case over the Internet is very relevant because it applies the Internet in a way that hasn’t been done before,” Wohn said. “By being denied...

Competition for iTunes has toughened considerably in recent months. Spotify, which allows users to stream music for free in return for watching the odd ad online, has proved a hit since launching last October with the backing of the industry's big labels.
