Feds dis Napster; The Standard disses other media

From a story at The Standard: “The announcement on Friday that the
federal government was joining the
defenders of copyright rather than the
“information wants to be free” crowd in the
Napster case was treated as just barely
news by the media. All the major outlets
and Net trades reported it, but in such
similar ways that they all could have run
AP copy and given their Net music
reporters Friday afternoon off.”
