Johnny Deep and Madster (previously know as Aimster) have been involved in a long running legal case against the RIAA and the MPAA, a case that now looks set to hit the Supreme Court.


At the end of 2002 Madster lost a preliminary injunction in their case in Chicago. Deep initially ignored this ruling resulting in large fines but eventually resigned himself to an appeal of the lower courts ruling. The appeal took place last June with a ruling shortly afterwards against Madster. Although the judgement did pay heavy emphasis to the non-infringing uses of P2P software it was more the conduct of Madster that caused the case to go against them.
