By Sue Zeidler, Reuters Moving ahead with plans for a new pay service, Napster hired a former US Justice Department lawyer on Thursday to oversee legal affairs. The song-swap service also signed a deal with Loudeye Technologies to help it identify songs on its new, existing court-challenged service. The developer of the popular but controversial song-swap service said Jonathan Schwartz joined Napster from the US Justice Department, where he most recently served as the Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General. Napster said Schwartz will manage legal issues for the new copyright-friendly service it plans to launch this summer and help the company comply with a court-ordered injunction against its original song-swap service. Its been a busy week for Napster, which got a shot in the arm on Tuesday when MusicNet -- a joint music subscription service between RealNetworks and three big record labels, AOL Time Warner's Warner Music, EMI Group, and Bertelsmann AG's BMG -- announced a licensing deal for Napster to carry these labels' music once it launches a new version that pays royalties. t ===========================================================Take the guesswork out of genealogy.
