RIAA Threatens More Music-Lovers
Xenographic writes "According to this article at SFGate, the RIAA has warned 204 more people that they are pursuing legal action against them. After the uproar over the last batch of lawsuits, however, they're not (yet) suing the people in question, but intend to allow them to settle out of court, first."
wouldn't it be cheaper for them to threaten/subpoena/sue the whole US population as an entity (since everybody with a computer and a little experience does P2P)? who's the US people's representant again, isn't it the govern..... oops, nevermind.

Whenever I read a story about the RIAA, I go download a few gigs of mp3s.
Whew! Running outta HD space.
I'm sharing it all with people I know (friends & family), and I'm not gonna get caught. They're happy, I'm happy... we all save money, and no one can do a thing about it!
204? That number sounds familiar...how many people signed those amnesty forms a while back?
You would have to either prove that (1) somehow, your sharing of copyrighted material was lawful
That one is easy if they were played on the radio or at a concert near me! I've got an EULA on my body that reads, roughly, "Ownership of copyright of all radio and sound wave traffic through this body will be transfered directly to the Owner of the body thereof, namely, himself. If the previous owner of the copyright does not wish to transfer ownsership, then said party shall not transmit through this medium."
