    Coleman launches inquiry into RIAA's piracy crackdown

    WASHINGTON - Sen. Norm Coleman on Thursday began an inquiry into the recording industry's copyright lawsuits against online music swappers, saying the tactics could ensnare innocent people.

    "Yet, the industry seems to have adopted a 'shotgun' approach that could potentially cause injury and harm to innocent people who may have simply been victims of circumstance, or possessing a lack of knowledge of the rules related to digital sharing of files."

    Cool, Glad to hear it. I hope the rest of the congress goes after the RIAA and their tactics as well.

    ahhahaha

    norm coleman has a track record of being one crooked bastard. we should just lobby him to legalize it.

    i think his intention is just to spare the grandmas from getting sued.

    No you don't understand, he's just standing up for people who's children and grandchildren who put music on the computer. That may help younger people.

    Aha! The RIAA finally sued someone related to a congressman/senator.
    Pay EFF now, https://secure.eff.org or pay RIAA later. http://www.riaa.com

    Ah, now we now why Colman is so interested in the RIAA.

    In the conference call, Coleman acknowledged that he used to download music from Napster, the file-sharing service that a federal judge shut down for violating music copyrights.

    "I must confess, I downloaded Napster, and then Napster was found to be the wrong thing," he said. "I stopped."

    hmm

    a (former) P2P user in charge.
    will he help?!?
    will the RIAA just toss $$ his way and make him fade away?!?

    bah

    i wanna see the RIAA go 1 on 1 with somebody like bill gates.
    we all know bill plays by his rules and his only.
    heh gates can probably match the RIAA with the chump change he finds in his couch everyday lol
