along the lines of Napster - I just received this:

..................................................... 
NNapster News Flash!
2001.2.12
.....................................................

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against Napster in our
effort to keep the major recording companies from shutting us down.
We are not shut down, but under this decision we could be. We are 
very disappointed in this ruling by the three-judge panel and will
seek appellate review. The Court today ruled on the basis of what
it recognized was an incomplete record before it. We look forward 
to getting more facts into the record. While we respect the Court's 
decision, we believe, contrary to the Court's ruling today, that 
Napster users are not copyright infringers. We will pursue every 
avenue in the courts and the Congress to keep Napster operating.
