NEW YORK - A federal judge

much as $250 million to Universal

company’s copyrights by making thou
sands of CDs available for listening over
the Internet
U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff pun
ished the online music-sharing service
at $25,000 per CD, saying it was neces

Universal Music Group, the world’s
largest record company, had urged a
stiff penalty in a case closely watched by
Napster and other businesses that share
music or other copyrighted material
over the Internet
The judge said some Internet com
panies might “have a misconception
that, because their technology is some
what novel, they are somehow immune
from the ordinary applications of laws
of the United States, including copy-

Houghton said he has plans to
expand the site to other universities
around the nation.
He said he hopes to start :u.”ning trial

“As far as long-term goals, I hope to

He added: “They need to under

Auto, CEOs Apologize
For Fatal Accidents
WASHINGTON - The CEO of
Bridgestone/Firestone Inc. apologized
Wednesday before angry members of
Congress for dozens of fatal accidents
that may be linked to his company’s
tires.
The chief executive of Ford Motor
Cos. insisted his company could not be
blamed.
At the same time, internal
Bridgestone/Firestone documents
obtained by The Associated Press
showed the company might have had
data indicating safety problems years
before the Aug. 9 recall of 6.5 million
tires. Rep. Billy Tauzin, R La., said he
believed the data was available as early
as 1992.
At separate House and Senate hear
ings, lawmakers admonished the tire
maker and Ford, which uses Firestone
tires on its popular Explorer and other
models, for not notifying the public
there was a problem even though com
plaints about the tires had been made
for years around the world.
Ford began a recall of the tires in 16
foreign countries more than a year
before the U.S. recall, but was not
required by law to notify federal officials
and did not do so.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
the country,” he said.
“Also, I hope to make back the
money I’ve put into the company by
selling ad spaces to businesses."
But Houghton is content with the
unexpected success he has seen so far.
“I was never sure if College United
would be effective, but it’s almost taken
on a life of its own.”
The University Editor can be reached
at udesk@unc.edu.
Administration has received more than
1,400 complaints.
These are including reports of 88
deaths and at least 250 injuries that
might be linked to the Firestone tires.
“I come before you to apologize to
you, the American people and especial
ly to the families who have lost loved
ones in these terrible rollover acci
dents,” said Bridgestone/Firestone CEO
Masatoshi Ono.
Carruth to Receive
Separate Murder Trial
Rae Carruth, accused of helping kill
his pregnant girlfriend, on Wednesday
won his fight to be tried separately from
two fellow defendants.
Superior Court Judge Charles Lamm
scheduled the former Carolina Panther’s
murder trial for Oct. 23, splitting
requests by the prosecution to begin it
Oct. 16 and by the defense for Nov. 6.
Prosecutors are seeking the death
penalty for Carruth, Michael Eugene
Kennedy and Stanley Drew Abraham.
Kennedy’s and Abraham’s trials weren’t
immediately scheduled, but will come
after Carruth’s, Lamm said.
“We’re ready. We want to go quick
ly,” Carruth’s lawyer, David Rudolf,
said after the hearing.
“Mr. Carruth is sitting in jail. He’s not
guilty and we wanted to get to court.
Whether he went first, second or third,
the evidence will be the same,” Rudolf
said.
A fourth defendant, Van Brett
Watkins, pleaded guilty to second
degree murder, admitting he shot
Adams, and agreed to testify against
Carruth.

Clinton Tackles Poverty,
War in Last U.N. Speech
Hie Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS - In a farewell
address at the United Nations, President
Clinton urged world leaders Wednesday
to intensify efforts to fight poverty and
war, put more children in school and
fight the spread of infectious diseases.
“All these things come with a price
tag and all nations including the United
States must pay it,” the president said in
a speech opening three days of intense
diplomacy.
“Those in my country or elsewhere
who believe we can do without the U.N.
or impose our will upon it misread his
tory and misunderstand the future,”
Clinton said.
The president spoke at the U.N.
Millennium Summit, a gathering of
about 160 presidents, kings, prime min
isters and generals. It was the largest
gathering of world leaders in history.
Clinton met with Russian president
Vladimir Putin, and he expressed hope

oncile differences over a U.S. national
missile defense.
Clinton announced last week he was
leaving it up to his successor whether to
deploy a missile shield protecting the
United States. Russia argues that such a
system would be destabilizing.
“We have worked together very
closely on nuclear issues from virtually
the whole time I’ve been in office,”
Clinton said. He said he hoped last
week’s decisions “create an opportuni
ty for President Putin and the next
American president to reach a common
position, and I hope they can.”
Clinton lingered after his speech to
hear the remarks of Iranian President
Mohammad Khatami, the reform
minded leader whom the administration
has been courting.
Clinton also exchanged greetings
with British Prime Minister Tony Blair
and his wife, Cherie, and had a 10-
minute meeting with Vietnamese
President Tran Due Luong. The two dis
cussed the possibility of a Clinton visit to

remain a priority
Clinton planned to meet with Israeli..
Prime Minister Ehud Barak and
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in hopes -
of reviving Mideast peace talks.
Clinton cautioned that the opportu
nity for peace “is fleeting and about to
pass. There is not a moment to lose.”
Clinton, leaving office in less than .
five months, noted that it was his last
opportunity to address the Genera!
Assembly.
He said that if he had learned any
thing during his presidency, it is that
“whether we like it or not we are grow- •
ing more interdependent.
“We must look for more solutions in
which all sides can claim a measure of
victory and move away from choices in
which someone is required to accept
complete defeat.”
Clinton said the United Nations is
increasingly being called into difficult
situations, such as in violence-plagued
East Timor and Sierra Leone.
