It wasn�t a big surprise to discover that Metallica and Dr Dre share the same attorney, Howard King.
King drafted a letter to Napster�s CEO Eileen Richardson on Dre�s behalf. According to King the letter was �basically putting them on notice that the listing of his songs and masters on Napster and the facilitation of the transfer of those files constitutes an infringement of his copyrights�"
But will King convince Dr Dre to file suit if Napster doesn�t comply? King addressed that issue as well, "Dr. Dre has not committed to suing them, but that would be the logical conclusion if they don't take it off their site..�
King expects more legal actions to be forthcoming against Napster as he has been contacted by several artist and a publishing company after he filed the suit on Metallica�s behalf last week. Napster for their part are not taking these legal battles lying down, they intend to vigorously defend themselves in court if it comes to that.
