A shot at the rim and a barrel. The dreaded Judge Patel has invited salomonicamente the majors to provide accurate lists of tracks to be protected, otherwise the ineffectiveness of the filters of Napster. The company had meanwhile apologized for the'' 'overblocking', ie the unavailability of files without any restrictions due to an incorrect use of the filters themselves, promising a finish that eliminates the problem. Filters that have lost about three million users in the month of March. Meanwhile Manu Chao (pictured), in an interview with Radio Popolare stated that "Napster could be a problem for players who fail to live their music. But a band or an artist already known do not see why it have to make a frown. We have enough money to live on. " Finally, at the University of California, Santa Cruz, the network supervisor John Rocchio warns all those who exceed the daily gigabytes of traffic, and after three warnings, suspending access to the Internet for a week.
