Motley Fool Says RIAA Hitting a Brick Wall

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "The Motley Fool business site says that the RIAA's litigation campaign is in the end game. Monday it reported that 'the music industry's lawsuit crusade against defenseless college students and housewives appears to have hit the skids,' predicting that the RIAA's tactics are 'all about to change.' Today the Fool confirms that 'the change is happening in Internet time, which is somewhere between "instantly" and "yesterday,"' noting that the RIAA's abandonment of its 'making available' theory shows that the end is near. And this is before the RIAA faces its first jury trial, set to begin Oct. 2 in Duluth."

Re:Scare tactic

You are most probably right. But this whole discussion is not looking for answers — Slashdot is bashing ??AA, that's all.

The forum was celebrating all accused (guilty or not) getting off on various technicalities, when they did, because most people here don't think, there is anything wrong with copying someone else's work without permission.

One should not need to agree, that such copying amounts to theft, to understand, that it is wrong regardless. But that's where most Slashdotters get lost, unfortunately.

Arguing on the internet is like participating in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.
