RIAA Files Lawsuit Against Direct Connect!
I've just been discussing this on the EMC Hub chat room after I found out that the RIAA is to file a lawsuit against DC. Nobody seems to believe that DC will be harmed, but the RIAA is relentless when it comes to stopping the free distribution of music and I am quite worried

I realize it's worldwide influence but it's primary focus is with U.S. record labels, hence it's mission statement:
"The Recording Industry Association of America is the trade group that represents the U.S. recording industry. Its mission is to foster a business and legal climate that supports and promotes our members' creative and financial vitality. Its members are the record companies that comprise the most vibrant national music industry in the world. RIAAź members create, manufacture and/or distribute approximately 90% of all legitimate sound recordings produced and sold in the United States."

According to the article, that is exactly what they are doing... suing the people who run the servers in their campus network:
quote:
The network operators sued by the RIAA for copyright infringement are from the following schools: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) [two individuals], Princeton University, and Michigan Technological University.
quote:
"We hope that these suits serve as a stiff deterrent to anyone who is operating or considering setting up a similar system."
