Napster has filed papers seeking to deny the RIAA and music publishers' request for a ruling that would hold it legally responsible for allowing copyright infringement (Bulletin, Aug. 9). The action, which was filed last Monday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Calif. in San Francisco, questions whether the labels "own the copyrights in question" or can prove that Napster has "adversely impacted" their own proposed online music services. It also claims that artists are not allowed to deal with Napster directly. Officials were unavailable for comment.
