Internal MP3 Server? 1 Million Dollars Please
nkruse pointed out that our pals as the RIAA are breaking new ground. According to this Reuters Article, the RIAA has succeeded in collecting 1 million US dollars from Arizona based Integrated Information Systems. IIS apparently had a corporate MP3 repository on it's network. This is the first time I've heard about the RIAA doing this kind of thing. Looks like they're taking a page from the BSA handbook.
I'm not sure why this is a problem.
A company promoting piracy is even worse than the individual person who feels it's OK to shoplift or steal music.
What type of "fair use" could possibly apply here?

Police Dog Severs Suspect's Penis
Monday April 08 03:39 PM EDT
A suspected robber is recovering Monday after a police dog bit him in the crotch, severing his penis, according to a Local 6 News report.
Authorities said that three men walked into the At Cost Liquor Store in Pinellas County, Fla., and allegedly stole a pack of cigarettes.
A store worker reportedly chased the men outside and wrote down the license plate number of the suspects' car.
After a brief chase, the men crashed their car and ran.
Police said that a K-9 named "Scooby" caught up with one of the alleged suspects. The dog first bit the suspect on the buttocks and then bit him in the crotch, severing his penis, according to police.
The suspect was rushed to a local hospital where doctors reattached the suspect's penis.
Shut up asshole, Apache is no better. Have you even looked at the source of Apache? It's disgusting. Even kids have found exploits for it. Not to mention the header files.. ewwww! Why do you children make such naive and simple jokes? IIS just gets publicity for it's flaws. Apache would be blown to pieces if all of its flaws were mentioned in the same proportion.
Okay, I have to say I am in favour of the RIAA winning on this...
:) But I don't know many companies that will buy CDs for their employees.
:)
My only question is how did they get access to find out? A police officer can't search a house without a warrent, and anything they find without a warrant is inadmissable in court? Unless someone sqealed on the company. If the RIAA used illegal means (ie, hacking) then they're just guilty of another crime. But alas, I don't know how they found out, just that it's a little suspicious that they did.
And stupid company, you don't set a machine up specifically for that. Maybe turn a blind eye and pretend you didn't know employees were using a server like that, but don't endorse it!
Or if the company had the server open to the world.
It would have been okay if all of the music had been purchased by the company
I like the comparison someone made about the RIAA to the mafia... organised crime has now become legit!
So when I'm 55 will I be able to speak out of turn?
--- I used to moderate, then I read the -1 articles and decided having to filter through them was not worth it.
hilary rosen in hell getting fucked in the ass by satan himself with a flaming dick and hearing her screaming the most ear-piercing cries of agony and suffering throughout all eternity. i can't wait!
Satan can be quite a joker sometimes. You see, he wants there to be dischord between strict monotheists such as yourself and Catholics. In fact, he wants there to be dischord among all religions, and between the religious and nonreligious people of the world.
It's your heart, why let Satan fill it with cynicism and mean-spiritedness?
get lost..
