It's important for me to give some credit to Napster today.
You'll remember they argued before this court last year, they argued last September at the 9th Circuit [Court of Appeals] that they couldn't. Today they have finally said what we've all known for over a year, that they absolutely can filter out unauthorized works.
We need copyright protection but we must not stifle technology to get it.
What Napster said today, which they have essentially have been denying for the last year, was that they could filter out unauthorized songs.
The money that Napster offered they should be offering in individual discussions with individual companies, ... There isn't an industry license that can be granted and there won't be an industry response to a billion dollar offer.
