EFF Ad Campaign On File Swapping

Posted by simoniker on from the let-the-music-play dept.

miladus writes "The Electronic Frontier Foundation is launching an ad campaign to counter the RIAA's lawsuits about file swapping. There are more details available at the File Sharing: It's Music To Our Ears subsite." The press release kicking off this campaign says that "EFF's Let the Music Play campaign provides alternatives to the RIAA's litigation barrage, details EFF's efforts to defend peer-to-peer file sharing, and makes it easy for individuals to write members of Congress."

    Only if we get to mod the "copyright violation != stealing" posts down at the same time. Honestly, you guys sound like a broken record.

    Man, I wish that copyright violation == stealing!

    I could just see the news now:

    It was revealed today that a pirate has stolen every N'Sync song ever made. It appears that he downloaded every song thousands of times, and then, to everyone's horror, deleted them. "It's hard to believe that all that music is gone forever" cried one fan.
