Globescape's new napster clone

GlobeSCAPE's announcement of its new CuteMX software is causing a flurry of discussion in the music industry about the burgeoning copyright problems posed by mp3 files. CuteMX is basically a knock-off of Napster: "a simple interface for users to chat, play, and store sound files and ... search other users' music archives."

Check out this article on mp3.com for the scoop on how suits on both sides of the issue feel about the new new thing in sound software. Christy Stabin
