RIAA: "we have no choice" but to file more named lawsuits
Found on Ars Technica on Tuesday, 05 May 2009
The RIAA said it would file no more "new" lawsuits against individual file-swappers, but it filed more such lawsuits in April.
Beckerman noted that the music labels had filed new cases in April, despite their claim to Congress (and Ars) that they had stopped "initiating new lawsuits" in August 2008.
But as the Time Warner Cable data caps issue showed, nothing makes the grassroots angrier than a massive corporation interfering with their Internet. And nothing gives a Congressman or Senator more incentive to stand up to corporations than an angry mob of voters.
Lying to Congress too now. I guess they have lied to everybody by now at least once. I can't wait for them to disappear from this world and get buried in the hole they dug all by themselves.
