RIAA Now Targeting Retailers

merodach writes "According to this story on Headlinenews.com the RIAA is now targeting retailers in it's 'war on piracy.' I think everyone will agree this is something that should be done if the retailer is deliberately pirating. The thing I wonder about in hearing this news is how many of the retailers include used copy stores. With the way the RIAA and some artists *cough*Garth Brooks*cough* have labeled these stores as pirates and theives in the past it seems likely they would be the biggest targets. Have any in the /. crowd actually seen one of the letters sent or know how many of the targeted businesses are used stores? Further - how would the RIAA know how much to demand in 'settlement fees' and is it possible these are being used to shut down the mom-and-pop outfits that trade in used CDs?"

Fox News is right wing propaganda brought to you by facist and sleazemonger, Rupert Murdoch. The idea that any of the corporate media are left wing is absurd. The real problem with American news outlets is that they are only entertainment, and are information free. The only thing the movie, Network predicted that hasn't come true yet is a psychic on the evening news.
