RIAA, Stop Suing Tech Investors!
The RIAA isn't just suing tens of thousands of music consumers; they've also begun filing lawsuits naming the directors of and investors in tech companies that they believe contribute to copyright infringement. NewYorkCountryLawyer writes: "ZDNet urges the big recording industries to stop suing tech investors, and cites the draft legislation that I posted, which would immunize from secondary copyright infringement liability any work done by a director in 'his or her capacity as a member of the board of directors or committee thereof,' and any conduct by an investor based solely upon his or her having 'invested in any such corporation, including any oversight, monitoring, or due diligence activities in connection therewith.'"
Why would I bother naming them, if you're just going to claim they're ineffective? Seems to me you're already admitting they do exist.
So why not cut to the heart of the matter...which I already addressed, so I refer you back to my prior post.
It's a high standard to prove, and I think you're illustrating quite clearly why it should be.
