Sony still doesn't get it

Sony Music put a legal pressure to Napster to get the Manic Street Preacher's new album away from the Napster "distribution". Sony also requested Napster to remove all users spreading this album, and yesterday Napster finished this action.
Sony seems to be protective even now when all the signs show that this war should end -- spreading MP3s increases music sales.
