San Diego - Michael Robertson, head of music storage locker service MP3tunes -- which is currently the target of a copyright suit from EMI -- said yesterday that a recent court ruling in favor of a similar video service from Cablevision "sets a sturdy legal precedence which MP3tunes can use to battle for the legality of our online music storage service." "The parallels to Cablevision are striking with the primary difference being they're video and we're music. Both are services storing your personal content and playing it back for you," Robertson wrote in a post on his blog. Robertson adds that the pending suit against his company is being heard by the same federal court that delivered the Cablevision ruling.
