RIAA Drops P2P Lawsuit Strategy, Goes Local

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the friendly-visit-from-your-music-biz-pals dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Wondering why the RIAA hasn't announced 800 lawsuits per month any more? Well, they're still suing people, but have developed a new strategy according to Slyck.com. Instead the RIAA is looking to be more localized, focused and personal with its new strategy." As another reader puts it, the RIAA "will opt to file lawsuits on a weekly basis and work with local media to give it a more geographically relevant feel." Perhaps they'll also pick their targets a bit more carefully.

    Our favorite villian, simply out protecting the rights of recording artists.

    I guess the RIAA fills the role that the 'Narcs' and DEA agents played in the 1970's,
    they're fun beat up on, mischaracterize, draw cartoon conclusions about, etc.

    So lets get the posts going expressing outrage and rightous indignation over the RIAA just because you like to steal music.
