Aimster Renamed

Troubled File sharing software Aimster has decided to rename itself as Madster. This follows a Lawsuit from AOL which claimed ownership of the Aimster.com domain name. However there is still a pending court case over the software. A litigation panel ruled last year that two cases, one filed by RIAA against Aimster in Manhattan and one filed by Aimster against RIAA in Albany, will be bundled and handled in Chicago, Illinois. The cost of the small company travelling between Chicago and Albany is likely to prevent Aimster/Madster from been able financially to defend the case. The Case is due this spring.
