RIAA’s Legal Blitz Begins


From Wired:

The music industry began a promised wave of lawsuits on Monday, suing 261 people it accuses of illegally distributing about 1,000 copyright music files each, using peer-to-peer networks.

FOXNews.com adds an “innocent victim” scenario by pointing out that a 12-year-old New York City girl is among these “pirates”. Meanwhile, the EFF says individuals should not accept the RIAA’s amnesty offer. PC World has a good wrap-up of the RIAA’s current tactics and the EFF response.
