How to Tell if the RIAA Wants You

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the and-the-music-never-stopped dept.

codewolf writes "Wired News has an article on how file sharers can check a new online database to see if they are wanted by the recording industry. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has created a site where users can plug in their file-sharing user names. That name is checked against the list of those subpoenas filed in the Washington, D.C. district court. The EFF also has an article on how to avoid a lawsuit from the RIAA."

    Where to start? Do I blast him for the hideous formatting of this message, or the reference to Tony Blair as "president" of Britain? Buddy, if your gonna use fancy shmancy constructs such as "President so-and-so's Country," at least get the title correct, eh?
