Napster is having even more probelms, the producers of the Grammy Awards were
hoping to release the Eminem/Elton John Stan duet to raise money for
charity. The track was available to users of Napster just hours after the
performance.
The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences has said: "The day following the
Grammy Awards, we were in the recording studio remixing all this stuff with the intention of
putting it out [as a recording], only to find that all of the audio was already up on Napster,
and there had been millions of downloads".
The academy filed suit on Tuesday (6 March 2001)
in a federal court in San Francisco. Michael Greene, president of the NARAS said
that the track may now never see a commerical release.
