ACM vs. RIAA

Posted by Hemos on from the battle-to-the-last dept.

stinkbomb writes "The venerable Association for Computing Machinery has posted a legal brief on it's site regarding Felten vs. RIAA. The ACM position is: 'ACM believes that the application of any law to limit the freedom to publish research on computer technology will impose a cost not only on ACM's members, but also on the academic community, the process of scientific discourse, and society in general.'"

    I'm sorry, but ACM will loose. RIAA has much more money than ACM, and they can buy the law they want. I won't be scared if next month we have a new law:
    RAACME: RIAA Against ACM Existence

    That's the way it is. If you have enough money you can do whatever you want.

    Sorry, but I have to say this again. Sad but true
