RIAA Extends Legal Action

Posted by simoniker on from the hurray-hurrah-hurray dept.

shystershep writes "An article at InfoWorld tells how the RIAA 'is filing 41 new lawsuits and sending 90 lawsuit-notification letters this week, adding to the 341 lawsuits filed and 308 notification letters sent since September. The RIAA has settled with 220 file-sharers as a result of lawsuits, lawsuit-notification letters and subpoenas. In addition, 1,054 users have submitted affidavits as part of the RIAA's amnesty program.' The RIAA also claims that its tactics are actually working -- to increase awareness and reduce online piracy."

    If I had a time machine, I'd take a submarine back to 1492 and torpedo the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.

    That would solve the whole RIAA thing, but only as a side effect.

    I doubt the post was a troll. It was a good critique of the current mindset vs. the internet. The fuckwit mods, of course, missed it. It was missing 'M$', "RIAA is tech SUckz', or an out-of-context quote from someone famous. I'm not too bitter though. I rather enjoy browing at -1 these days.

    So does Canadian law define larceny, GTA, and copyright infringement in the same chapter?
