Record labels say file-swapping service Madster is violating the terms of a recent court order and should be shut down or fined until it starts blocking trades of copyrighted music.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) asked a Chicago federal court on Wednesday to hold bankrupt Madster--formerly known as Aimster--and its founder Johnny Deep in contempt of court. Deep has made no effort to comply with a court order issued last month that required the company to block trading of music belonging to the major record labels, the trade association said.

"We regret having to take this step, but Mr. Deep has given us no other option," Matt Oppenheim, senior vice president of the RIAA, said in a statement. "He is fully capable of complying with the order and has apparently decided to flout the court's authority."
