RIAA Warns Individual Swappers

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the shutting-it-down dept.

Joey Patterson writes "CNET News.com reports that the RIAA has sent cease-and-desist letters to four individuals for allegedly pirating its music on P2P networks." They have yet to publicly release the names of who they have contacted, but 4 of the 5 were Verizon subscribers involved with their previous high profile case.

    You may be joking but you do have a point.
    What's hurting the american economy more, 4 or 5 people swapping files or the hordes of illegal immigrants pouring in all the time?
    I wish people would worry about serious things instead of meaningless virtualities such as an mp3.
    With so many people being mugged, raped and murdered, politicians seem to spend half their lives worrying about petty little details such as wether people should or shouldn't have the right to do what they want with what they purchase.
