Small Webcasters Sue RIAA

killthiskid writes "The Webcaster Alliance, a small group of 198 webcasters has sued the RIAA. CNET has the news, along with a growing number of other sites (google news). As many /.'ers know, in 2002 the Library of Congress decided on .07 cents per song (retroactive to '98). After that another bill was passed to protect smaller webcasters. Aparently, many webcasters are still not happy." Their complaint is online.

    Michael needs to get fired, sealed in a room with Seth Finkelstein, and let both of them vent out their homo-neurotic difference of opinion on what 'freedom' is. Posts by Michael are getting a little tiring, and being an employee of OSDN, his opinion IS representing the company, which COULD have legal repercussions (perhaps slander? IANAL). It'd be nice if the editors would let the userbase submit the comments, and leave their own off of the front page. If they feels so concerned about something, become a subscriber and post it to the story like the rest of us.

    This is NOT offtopic since I'm only responding to the editor's comments on THIS STORY. Of course, it could be Michael moderating me down.
