A&M Records, Inc.,
et al. v. Napster, Inc.
On May 5, 2000, U.S. District Judge Marilyn
H. Patel ordered the music swapping company, Napster, to stand trial for copyright
infringement. Rejecting Napster's arguments that the case should be thrown out because the
company is not directly responsible for infringement on its network, Judge Patel ruled
that Napster is not a "mere conduit" for information and is therefore not
entitled to "safe harbor" under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act.
