From Cnet.com:

“A federal judge gave file-swapping company Napster a significant win in court Friday, ordering new scrutiny of the big record labels’ ownership rights to music that could impact their own online plans…

“The evidence now shows that the plaintiffs have licensed their catalogues of works for digital distribution in what could be an overreaching manner,” [U.S. District Judge Marilyn Hall] Patel wrote. “The evidence also suggests the plaintiffs’ entry into the digital distribution marketplace may run afoul of antitrust laws.”

More details to follow.
