At least one Senator is trying to slow RIAA

Instead of subpoenas being granted on the word of the RIAA, he wants to make each one require the signature of a judge.See here
And See here "Verizon General Counsel William Barr shot back that the recording industry has failed to embrace the Internet as a distribution medium, opting instead to fight piracy by declaring a "jihad against 12-year-old girls."
They have made it a ridiculous mess!!

we don't have that problem in Canada

laws are much stricter in terms of privacy...so an ISP giving up a user...is less likely

the cdn version of riaa is poor and ill equiped

also a law in 1997...put a levy on blank recorded material...70million bucks...in 6 yrs...goes to the companies..

tho I think the RIAA needs an ass kicking and a reality check.
