Napster's only alleged liability is for contributory or vicarious infringement. So when Napster's users engage in noncommercial sharing of music, is that activity copyright infringement? No.

When you think of Napster, you think of music. But the first thing that struck me was that this was an important case not only for the music industry but for the whole Internet.

This case raises important questions of how the copyright laws are to be applied to this new medium,

Proclaiming the gospel is not an activity in which we periodically and temporarily engage.

Napster was predicating its business model on violation of copyright.

I do not believe in file sharing or illegally downloading music. I pay for all my music. I listen to music everyday. It is my life. I can not imagine violating musicians' rights by illegally obtaining it.
