Inquiry Into RIAA's Piracy Crackdown Tactics

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the sanity-checks dept.

MongooseCN writes "Sen. Norm Coleman started an inquiry to check the RIAA's tactics on attacking online music swappers. He believes the RIAA's tactics may not be taking into consideration the damage they do to innocent people. It's good to know that someone remembered people in the US have Rights." As a former roadie, Senator Coleman doesn't oppose file sharing penalities, he merely wants to make sure the punishment fits the crime.

  1. RIAA Has every right.. by dBLiSS · · Score: -1, Redundant

    The RIAA does have every right to sue people for copyright violations. I wish people would stop complaing because the RIAA is "unfair". This is the way America works, deal with it. If you don't like it STOP BUYING and DOWNLOADING their product until the music industry is dead. Otherwise stop complaing about not being able to get their free stuff.

    P.S. I posted this story on july 31st but it was rejected..werid that cowboyneal gets the credit..
