Famed plaintiff's attorney Bill Lerach of the firm Milberg Weiss has sued MP3.com, alleging the company mislead shareholders about future growth and knew it was basing its business on a model that violated copyrights.

The suit seeks class action status on behalf of anyone who purchased shares of the stock between 13 January and 7 September. On 6 September, a federal judge in New York ruled that the company owed Seagram's Universal Music unit $25,000 for each compact disc that was unlawfully posted on its My.MP3.com database, an order that could cost the company as much as $118m.

While full medical records may be of (dubious) value at rear/base medical facilities, these could be provided much simpler by either physical disk or electronic transfer to an "in theatre" database for individuals posted in. That £80m (and it's associated running costs) could have been far better employed in resuscitating a disbanded infantry battalion or providing a big boost in equipment quality and quantity.
