Judge: EMI Can't Sue MP3Tunes Founder

CNET News is reporting that a federal judge just dismissed a copyright-infringement lawsuit filed by EMI Group against Michael Robertson, founder of MP3tunes, MP3.com, and Linspire.

However, court documents indicate that the judge allowed EMI, one of the four major labels, to continue to pursue the copyright claims against MP3tunes (the company), instead of the founder.
