ISP Sued By Irish RIAA

Posted by Soulskill on from the nothing-wrong-here-no-sir dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "An ISP in Ireland has been sued by the Big Four record labels because its subscribers have engaged in P2P sharing of the record companies' song files. The record companies claim the ISP should be buying Audible Magic's CopySense, the software being peddled by the RIAA's expert witness, which supposedly would filter out copyright infringement. Of course, not everyone agrees."

    I read "Irish" and transposed "RIAA" to "IRA(A)" - shadows of another terrorist group.

    All Honda cars should be forced to use my special "No park in my spot" tires to prevent this in the future. Only $999 per set of four!

    Based on what I'm seeing so far, the title should have been "Comments containing moronic analogies".
