BPI Sue AllOfMp3 In British Courts

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the just-try-and-make-it-stick dept.

Ckwop writes "AllOfMp3 is getting sued by the British Phonographic Industry. From the article: "We have maintained all along that this site is illegal and that the operator of the site is breaking UK law by making sound recordings available to UK-based customers without the permission of copyright owners. Now we will have the opportunity to demonstrate in the UK courts the illegality of this site." " The issue of course will be whether any injunction will be enforceable or not.

    You weren't the only one. Lets be honest, pornography drives the internet not phonography.

    These people are fighting for their lives because aside from looking good in miniskirts and screeching like barn owls, musicians (and I use that term loosely) have no marketable skills. If someone one day made computer programming completely unprofitable (I'm looking at you, Stallman), at least a handful of us programmers would be still able to manage a living doing something else. The rest would be just as up in arms as these music artists and music labels are at the loss of the cash cow.

    Mommas, don't let your babies grow up to be teen idols.
