From Bloomberg News

The owner of Aimster Inc., an Internet music-swapping service, lost its bid for a U.S. Supreme Court appeal of a ruling that shut down the service.

The court declined to hear Aimster founder John Deep’s argument that a lower court went too far in ordering the service to halt illegal song swaps while it fought a lawsuit by the Recording Industry Assn. of America. Aimster has changed its name to Madster.com.
