MP3.com blocks users' access to 'BIG Five' content

Written by Petteri Pyyny @ 10 May 2000 19:33

MP3.com announced today that it has blocked users access to content in its My.MP3.com service published by 'Big Five' record labels (Sony, EMI, etc..). This is one step in MP3.com's road to try to get a settlement with RIAA in its lawsuit.

What happens to the people who have sent their own CDs to MP3.com to convert them into MP3s from CDs published by major record labels -- it's unclear right now..
