The chances are still very, very good that we'll find this man"... Universal, world's largest music producer, is suing Veoh video service for "massive copyright infringement", alleging the company has based its business on exploiting others' intellectual property for profit; suit comes just as Napster lawsuit is finally settled "when German media-behemoth Bertelsmann AG paid the National Music Publishers Association $130 million to settle claims it contributed to copyright violations by financially propping up Napster with $85 million in loans"...
