EMI is suing MP3tunes. While MP3tunes has the obligation to pay 100% of the legal bills, we are really defending the entire Internet. The actions EMI is complaining about are also performed by hundreds if not thousands of other internet companies.
Google, AOL, and Microsoft all offer online storage of MP3 files. Many of these services even allow and encourage sharing — which MP3tunes does not. MP3tunes has no locker sharing whatsoever; everything is protected by unique usernames and passwords.
Either consumers have the right to use the Internet to store their property or they do not. If companies that assist them are declared copyright infringers they will be put out of business by crushing monetary penalties. This is why I call it EMI v The Internet.
