Madonna Taking Legal Action
Posted by Heidi Chambers in Archive on June 1, 2000 at 9:38 AM

In more Madonna news, one of the world's most well known artist is threatening to take action against Napster. As reported yesterday, the title track of Madonna's new album was reportedly stolen from the studio where it was being produced and has ended up on Napster and the Net. Today, it is still unclear to exactly what legal actions Madonna is likely to take.

Since first reporting about this story yesterday afternoon, I have constantly been searching Napster, Gnutella, and Scour Exchange for any traces of the new song, titled "Music." And have so far have been unsuccessful at finding anything at all. It wasn't until this morning that I came across a link to a website that actually has the new song in MPG format.

What I'm trying to say is I think it is unfair of Madonna to jump on the anti-Napster bandwagon just because it is the hot topic of the moment. If she is going to take legal action against users who illegally have the song, that's her decision, but she shouldn't just point the finger at Napster when there are other mediums to access "Music" (for both uses of the word).
