How is KZbin different from Napster? In addition to discussing the law of copyright infringement, we will revisit the historic Sony Betamax case decided in 1984 and the Napster case of the early 2000s.

Sony betamax is a great example of the free markets deciding. Any large corporation will try to monopolize the market. Napster was amazing when it came out. You didn't have to pay to join napster. it was like trading baseball cards. At that time it was extremely difficult to get non main stream music. This was extremely revolutionary. I remember quite clear being sued by Metallica. My parents were extremely pissed and grounded me. It was very serious at that moment. i wish i still had the paperwork.

they eventually dropped the lawsuit, not before trying to shake me down with a settlement fee. Good Times.

Good points, but at the same time, markets need rules (such as copyright law) and the fair and consistent application of those rules. So the larger question is this: were the Sony Betamax and Napster cases fairly or consistently decided?
