The extensive downloading of MP3 music files has become a serious problem for artists, who loose revenue. The music industry is now trying to fight the problem by attacking Napster is a software program that allows you to search for music files by connecting you to the computers of millions of other Napster users. Napster's "MusicShare" software update a song directory via central servers. As more and more of the users convert songs stripped from CDs to the MP3 format, you can actually get all the latest hits for free by using Napster. A federal judge has now issued an order shutting down Napster Inc., saying evidence indicated its wildly popular song-swapping service could be a cover for piracy. "When the infringing is of such a wholesale magnitude, the plaintiffs are entitled to enforce their copyrights," U.S. District Judge Marilyn Hall Patel said. Two federal appeals judges has granted Napster Inc. a stay allowing the music trading service to stay online at least temporarily.
