Napster trial twist: Labels 'smell bad'.
Or, "Oops! They did it again!"
Perhaps it's not the best idea to engage in cartel activities of dubious legality when you're trying to sue someone for violating your rights.
However, I would expect that the judge will decide that independent cartel activities, driven by Napster's simple existence though they may be, are ultimately irrelevant to the issue of whether or not Napster has violated the record companies' and copyright holders' rights.
