● How will this likely affect (if at all) the decision in the Napster/RIAA case? How (if at all) does this case differ?
● How will the majority of online music enthusiasts respond to the decision?
● Will the record industry offer some "legitimate" variant of the disputed service?
● How will this decision be remembered five years from now?
● How do major recording acts feel about this?
● Did MP3.com make its case clearly enough? Is this simply an irreconcilable difference of opinion about the database?
● Does the judge appear to have a sufficient understanding of the technology?
● Is the database piracy or space-shifting?
