The Napster and RIIA case

Introduction

Napster is an integrated browser and communications system provided by Napster, Inc to allow individual Internet users with online directory files created on behalf of, and controlled by other Internet users. This system allows the user to select and download files from the hard drives of other users (Rosenne 1891). In December 1999, Napster received the indictment from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), who told them that Napster, Inc was a prosecution for copyright infringement.

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, if the ISP receives a complaint of users who allegedly violate the copyright, the ISP must immediately remove the user from its service. If Napster were to replace "observers" who would find the source of copyrighted material, and remove them in accordance with the DMCA Napster will not be held responsible.

In essence, two opposing views of the role that courts should exercise appeared over time. The idea of "limited" trial is based on ideology, beginning with the founding fathers. This approach assumes that the conditions necessary for the courts to produce significant social reform rarely exists. Limited the court operates with a strict construction of the U.S. Constitution limits the independence of the judiciary, and tends to emphasize the lack of tools available to the courts to develop appropriate policies and implementing decisions that about significant social reform.

This view assumes that the courts are able to act in the face of public opposition, because they are insulated from political pressures, and because they are in a strong position to insist that unconstitutional conditions be remedied, even at significant financial cost. As those who call for a dynamic system of the court believe that the courts are ideally Napster is an online service that allows computer users to share high-quality digital copies (MP3) music recordings over the Internet.
