How about mp3.coms "Beam-It' offering: https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/cs181/projects/1999-00/dmca-2k/mp3.html https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/cs181/projects/1999-... The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has sued both MP3.com and Napster on behalf of the record labels that they represent (Sony, BMG, EMI, Universal, and Warner). They are keen to point out thought that they are not against MP3 technology, but against the illegal use of it. MP3.com is being sued for their Beam-it online service which allows users to insert a CD into their disc drive, and then download those songs in mp3 format from MP3.com's database of over 80,000 CD's. The RIAA sued them claiming that the company was violating copyright laws by allowing users to download copyright-protected songs. On April 28th, New York District Court Judge Jed Rakoff sided in favor of the RIAA, ruling that MP3.com was liable for copyright infringement. On May 4th, a federal court also sided with the RIAA. According to Cary Sherman, general counsel for the RIAA, "The foundation on which these services are built is an unauthorized digital archive of the most valuable copyrighted recordings in the world. Frankly, it's astonishing that a publicly-traded company would behave so recklessly."
