The wheels of justice don't always turn slowly. Only two days after music label EMI asked a federal judge to stop BlueBeat.com from selling The Beatles' newly remastered albums. online at a quarter a track, the judge has agreed—and suggests that he's just as confused about what BlueBeat is doing as everyone else is. Judge John Walter took a look at both parties' initial claims and decided to issue a temporary restraining order against BlueBeat and its parent company, Media Rights Technologies. In his discussion, the judge had trouble believing that BlueBeat was selling "entirely different sound recording[s] than that copyrighted by Plaintiffs"—sound recordings apparently generated by "psycho-acoustic simulation."
