EMI, Universal Music, and several others are suing Napster as usual, for $17 billion, claiming it was responsible for a 9 percent drop in global music sales.

EMI and Universal Music are already suing Himmer Winblad Venture Partners for prolonging the life of Napster with their $13 million investment in 2000.
