RIAA gets ready for more lawsuits

edited October 2003 in Science & Tech
The RIAA has notified 204 individuals that they are next in line to be sued for copyright infringement. This advance warning is being sent out in an attempt to persuade people to settle before the suits are actually filed.

The RIAA was highly criticised for the tactics used in their last batch of lawsuits, which saw 261 individuals being sued.

[blockquote]"We take the concerns expressed by policy makers and others very seriously," RIAA President Cary Sherman said in a statement. "In light of the comments we have heard, we want to go the extra mile and offer illegal file sharers an additional chance to work this out short of legal action."

    When people are no longer greedy SOB's... then this will stop.

    So, if we ever learn that Hell has frozen over, or that nice guys are always winning, that Bob Ross is not a weirdo, that Microsoft does care about security, or even when linux is user friendly. Then maybe, just maybe entities like the RIAA will actually become ethical.

    Ethical and RIAA, hrmm...

    *laughs* It will never happen.
    /me laughs becuase it hurts deep down.
