Read the official statement here BTW does anybody knows of 'Leonard Kleinrock' described as "one of the original founders of the Internet" in the article and an expert witness ?"

    The RIAA has asked the Department of Justice to investigate the site "Slashdot". Apparently a posting on that site caused the RIAA's webserver to crash and burn. Hilary Rosen, the president of the RIAA said, "Only the RIAA is allowed to overload servers. This is clearly an Evil Terrorist Content Pirate(tm) attempt to stop our efforts to bleed^H^H^H^H^Hhelp starving slaves^H^H^H^H^H^Hartists."
