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."

    Maybe the RIAA is monitoring Web access to those databases to find out who they should be suing!
