I'm not saying it was legal, I'm saying that sales were up. So instead of learning from the Napster model and say offering sample songs available online at say a low bitrate of 64k they just shut down Napster. They didn't look at the big picture. The big picture was that it was not harming sales at all. It was increasing sales. They could have overlooked things that time while sales were up till sales started to drop and then go after Napster. But trying to shut down something that is making you money is rather silly.
