Investigating the RIAA's Billion-Dollar Claims

Posted by michael on from the gumshoe dept.

zrosener writes "I've put together a site with a lot of information on the cases. I created diagrams and explanations of the file sharing systems these students created that the RIAA is suing them for - and how they are functionally and technically very similar to Microsoft's tools built right into windows, and how they are dissimilar from Napster's." Good detective work.

    Dear Slashdot,

    Some punk put up a site with information detrimental to the RIAA. It's running on a 286 and he pays by the megabyte - all on his daddy's credit card! Please post a story about his eensie weensie site and turn his server into a smoldering pile of melted goop while bankrupting his papa.

    Smooches Roblimo,
    H. Rosen

    I haven't been able to read your site, as the server of course has been slashdotted

    If zrosner put it on a p2p system, then you would have been able to download it, but then the RIAA would start suing (or make up DMCA complaints). This is what they are trying to stop: free speech!
