I posted a summary of the oral argument here. Warning: I took pretty good notes, so it is a LONG summary.

I'm also mirroring it, here.

No, there seems to be some kind of round-robin-type scheme going on (wild guess), and sometimes you get the mp2 file and sometimes you get the mp3 file.

The version that I got first was a 370kB mp2 file, the second time I got a 4.75MB mp3.

Actually, they appear to be MP2s.

Can someone share these in Aimster to prove distribution of Non-Copyright infringment? I assume if you can get them from the court they aren't charging for them?

I mirrored the Seventh Circuit oral argument MP3s over on my blog (mikewren.com), along with my thoughts on how the Betamax argument can be better leveraged for the P2P software makers.

Keep up the good fight, Professor!
