Judge Patel and Napster: We meet again

The Standard reports on what may be bad news for Napster: “Napster, the contentious online
music-swapping service, will face the same
judge who ordered an injunction against it
when lawsuits brought by heavy metal
group Metallica and rap star Dr. Dre
proceed.

Judges at a Los Angeles federal court
ordered the cases transferred to U.S.
District Court Judge Marilyn Hall Patel in
San Francisco on Monday.”
