Aimster, more recently known as Madster, is to fall silent in the next few days after a court ruling in the US went quite resoundingly against it.

Indeed, the case couldn't have gone much worse for Madster. "[The] defendants manage to do everything but actually steal the music off the store shelf and hand it to Aimster's users," wrote Judge Marvin Aspen in his findings, reports CNET News.com.
