Not only that but we have a story over the wire....
Great Maker Corp. been ordered to pay a tax on the human brain. This is to compensate the companies for any individual that hums or recites a song, poem etc...
"This is the greatest threat our organization has faced. We have no other recourse than to take legal action". Quoted RIAA spokesman John Smith.
What happens when all the file sharing programs are gone? People will just go back to using search engines to find what they're looking for (Ah, the good ole days). What will the RIAA do then? Will they go after Yahoo, AOL and the other orgainizations that supply these tools? That is a fight I would love to see.
On a side note... The computer industry should start dishing out a lot more for lobbyists (Not that I'm for giving lawyers more job opportunities). Maybe then they would have a little more pull in Washington.
