SCOTUS to Napster, all is forgiven?
No it was still a normal copyright violation. This was ASCAP trying to get extra money from legal digital downloads, saying it’s a public performance (the only time ASCAP ever comes into play, shows and jukeboxes basically).
Wrong.
Not the same thing as the Napster issue. Downloading music can be done legally on numerous websites such as amazon.com This does not legalize theft of music. It finds that the mere act of downloading the song is not a public performance - just as the shipment of CDs is not a public performance.
