Making Files Available Breaking the Law?

lordhathor2001 writes "The RIAA has argued in one of their cases that simply "making files available for distribution" violates copyright laws. This means that regardless of the legality of a file somebody has on their computer, just putting it in a shared files folder that can be accessed by other people is illegal. Although it's asinine, it really shouldn't come as any surprise given the RIAA's legal campaign that's more about what it believes than what the law actually says."

Whoops, that should read "The sharing of files not in violation of copyright laws is not illegal. The RIAA should take its ill-informed and fire them, then take the propaganda they spew and shove it."
