Don’t Innovate, Don’t Even Invest
Apparently, the lawsuit against Hummer Winblad and BMG for funding Napster has been given the go ahead. Frank links to the decision.
Hey, maybe they’ll end up buying BMG and then suing their lawyers for even bothering to defend the company, because a record company has never done that before – oh wait. Wonder if we’d see more of these suits if the Induce Act were law? (Cue Ernest post on the interaction between the Induce Act and tertiary liability.)
Remember: this case involves record companies suing another record company for supporting an innovative business model. And we hope these people will come together on a VCL. Sheesh.
