Internal MP3 Server? 1 Million Dollars Please

Posted by chrisd on from the these-are-not-the-oggs-you're-looking-for dept.

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.

  1. And this is wrong why? by nedron · · Score: 2, Troll

    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?
