Record Industry Announces New Round of Crack Downs (http://www.bitoffun.com/wei-record_industry.htm)
Re: Crack Downs
Maybe these companies should sue the artists for putting out low quality cd's that aren't worth the asking price because of all the filler songs. I haven't bought any cd's for over a year until the past month in which I've bought 5... and they're all QUALITY all the way through from beginning to end. I shoulda saved my receipts in case they come after me for songs I download, and be like, "Look, I bought cd's from an actual store recently, leave me alone!"

seroiusly tho, the RIAA sued iMesh!
The Recording Industry Association of America said Friday that it had sued Israeli file-swapping company iMesh, one of the oldest of the peer-to-peer companies still in operation.
The record labels' trade association alleges that iMesh has contributed to massive copyright infringement online, much as other file-trading companies before it. The suit marked the clearest sign since the beginning of the RIAA's lawsuits against hundreds of song-swappers that the trade group will continue to pursue software companies as well as individuals.
"After last week's announcement of 261 lawsuits against individual users...there's a growing awareness that taking music that is not yours off the Internet can have real consequences and people are beginning to think twice before doing it," RIAA President Cary Sherman said in a statement. "However, the operators of these unauthorized networks should be held accountable...for the illegal activity occurring on their networks."
The RIAA has made similar announcements many times before, filing against Napster, Aimster, Audio Galaxy, Streamcast Networks, Sharman Networks and others. But the trade group goes into this latest suit operating from a far more uncertain legal position than with most of those previous suits.

hmm, does that mean we can sue the federal govt for drug running up and down the highways? Since it could cause harm to us?
