High Court Asks New Admin's Opinion In Broad-Reaching Case

By Wendy Davis, Mediapost

The U.S. Supreme Court has asked President-elect Barack Obama's administration to weigh in on a copyright case that could affect a broad swath of online media and technology companies...

Michael Kwun, a lawyer with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, added that the case could provide support to companies like MP3Tunes.com, which offers a digital music locker that allows people to access their songs from any Web-enabled computer. MP3Tunes.com is currently defending a copyright infringement lawsuit brought by EMI. "It's relevant to any remote storage system," he said.
