Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
LOS ANGELES, May 31 (UPI) -- A federal court case in San Francisco over internet music piracy has gained the attention of federal antitrust officials.
Major record labels are suing the original Napster's financial backers for supporting the piracy-linked network.
One of the defendants, Hummer Winbald, has responded by accusing the labels of not allowing license of their music to Napster while providing such to other ventures.
Winbald's lawyers provided evidence of the labels' collusion which prompted the case's judge and the Justice Department to request additional materials from the labels and their attorneys.
The Los Angeles Times reports previous documents given to the Justice Department from the labels had major omissions, specifically regarding licensure.
In 2003, a federal inquiry into possible antitrust allegations against major music labels was dismissed due to lack of evidence.
Many of the major labels declined to comment on these newest allegations.
