    The Riaa Lawsuits Again

    Source

    The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has just filed another batch of lawsuits against p2p users that are uploading files over the internet. This is now the RIAA's 3rd batch of lawsuits. The RIAA has now risen its total number of individuals sued by the RIAA to 382.

    The RIAA plans on keeping up the lawsuits and now is mailing letters to 90 individuals vnunet.com reports. The letters are a way for the chance to reach a settlement with the RIAA before the cases go to trial.

    RIAA president Cary Sherman said in a statement. "This is an ongoing strategy, and the way to let people know that there is a risk of consequences is to continue the programme,"

    "You don't set up a speed trap for one day and stop enforcement thereafter. It has to be consistent."

    The RIAA The RIAA has reportedly settled for around $3,000 per person and has reached agreement with 220 people so far.

    Are users safe from the RIAA? You cannot be to safe if you are filesharing. The RIAA seems to be averaging around 90 people or higher everytime they file lawsuits against swappers. But the RIAA still seems to be sueing users that are on the FastTrack Network and The Gnutella Network. Smaller networks including Ares, have not yet been touched by the RIAA.

    Leeching, Leeching, Leeching, Leeching.

    The best and only solution to not be one of those 382 people on the list.

    Whats the difference if you leech or you share? If you share, then your gonna get caught at some point and the RIAA will crack down on people week by week and decrease the number of people.

    Leeching....basically does the same thing...p2p does not exist with leeching...but you won't have to pay for your illegal actions.

    Perhaps rather than leeching the best solution would be a p2p system that didn't allow Americans to share music?
    Emphasis on music as we need you for other things.
