A federal judge in San Francisco issued a preliminary injunction against Napster late Monday that hands the controversial company its first small court victory in the course of the year long lawsuit.

Napster must begin blocking songs from being traded through its service. But a U.S. District gave the music-swapping company much of what it asked for in court Friday, denying the record industry's appeals for a much broader order (ha ha ha RIAA).

Although the order will considerably reduce the amount of music available through Napster, it appears the company will not have to shut down the service altogether--for now.
