NEWS An appeal courts in the US yesterday upheld a Federal Judge's ruling to keep Napster closed.

Napster has failed to take its offering back into the mainstream despite testing a secure music payment service.

Bertelsmann is a major Napster backer and is working with the company to get the service up and running again.
