A and M records vs. Napster
Summarize the situation. Based on what you know about copyright law and fair use, how is this person breaking the law exactly? What is the punishment? Do you think it is fair?
A&M records accused Napster of stealing of music and making possible for people to get without paying for it worldwide. They are all connecting to one server that sends it to another server more like as a circle. Also if the people do not buy it from the store or iTunes, and they are downloading music for free then it is stealing because the artist and everyone behind the music does not get paid. Napster had to only pay 26 million dollars. I personally do not think it’s fair because they are getting away to easily but also I do think it is fair only because everybody breaks copyright laws does rather they know it or not.
