Scott Draughon said the February Napster ruling, which ordered the free music service to stop the sharing of copyrighted recordings, won’t stop music swapping over the Internet in an article featured in the February 13th edition of the Florida Times-Union.

Draughon acknowledge that Napster violated copyright laws, but says the music industry may be facing a long list of lawsuits to shutdown copyright-violating online music services. “What about the file serves that are down in the Caribbean,” Draughon said. “What about the music servers that are all over the place? What are you going to do about them? Are you going to sue everybody?”

Draughon cited an even bigger problem. While the courts can shut down servers in the United States, suing becomes an issue of jurisdiction. Record labels may not have the legal right to sue in foreign countries. Even if they do, the courts might not hear the case since many foreign countries don’t have strong intellectual property law frameworks.
