Many musical groups like Metallica,
have led a long crusade against Napster saying it is illegal to allow customers to down
load their songs for free. And they arent alone. Five big Record label companys have also filed suit against Napster and today, a federal
appeals court in California added a new verse to their battle cry ordering the controversial site to stop trading copyrighted material.
Napster says the pledge to continue their fight to provide music for free.
This all started when Napster founder Shaun Fanning developed a software enabling personal computers to easily manage music over the internet.
The concept of swapping music quickly took off.
And these days, the company says more than 2.2 million songs being shared among its 12 users.
(Terisa Estacio)
Although Napster is all about music
Industry experts say this decision could have far reaching consequences.
It could set a new standard on how books or films can be swapped on the internet.
Alan Light is the editor and chief of Spin, insider magazine on the music business.
sot: Alan Light/Spin Magazine
this is much bigger than just music. It clears the way for other avenue
such as movies.
The federal court failed to put a timeline on when Napster must cease allowing copyright material to be swapped on its site. And, it is not the only game in town. There are several other internet
services which supply a similar service and many Napster users say they will just cross over and continue getting their music for free. Terisa Estacio, CBS News.))

Gaesser says if you exercise for just ten minutes at a time, you can

Sot Dr. Glenn Gaesser/author, The Spark
The people who would benefit the most are those that are currently
sedentary, would like to have a fitter, trimmer body, but just don t
feel like they have time to exercise. That would include about 70 to 80
percent of the American population. 02:14:57:05
Narr: Here s the basic premise-instead of exercising several times a
week for up to an hour, you break up your workout into fifteen
ten-minute sessions throughout the week. The workouts are divided
between cardiovascular, strength, and flexibility sessions.
Sot Dr. Glenn Gaesser
And as long as they do this on a regular basis, they get all the fitness
benefits they get with a normal exercise program that s much more time
intensive.
Narr: The catch is the 10-minute sparks need to be very challenging.
A good cardio spark would include running up and down stairs for ten
minutes, or a VERY brisk ten minute walk. A good strength spark would be
a weight training session, or calisthenic exercises like squats and
push-ups. The flexibility spark should include stretches for your back
and hamstring muscles. The Spark theory was tested on forty subjects
at the University of Virginia. The results?
Sot Dr. Glenn Gaesser
They improved their cardiovascular fitness, their strength, their
flexibility, their cholesterol came down, many of them had blood
pressure drops, the whole ball of wax. //And as far as weight loss goes,
if the calories are burned off, your body doesn t care if it s burned
off 30 minutes at a time or 10 minutes here and there.

your precious time. Bonnie Kaye for CBS News.))
