Beating the RIAA in court to as Morpheus and Grokster in showing file-sharing networks have substantial non-infringing purposes isn’t enough!
With the RIAA already announcing earlier today a large scale campaign to attack the very users that support the music industry (yes, file sharing helps the music industry!) by making examples of file-sharers with their newly found flexibility in the law to more easily identify users, what else can be done to stand up for file-sharing rights? ( besides us all uniting a massive campaign to boycott the music industry if their newly announced campaign is true)
Well there’s some good news!
A large collection of p2p companies (still mostly unnamed) has united for the common goal to defend the very rights of peer-to-peer with one of the very successful methods the RIAA uses. That is, by launching a campaign to ensure the interests of p2p services are heard in the U.S. Congress as well and the misinformation the RIAA poisons the government with have a counter balance to prove it’s legitimacy.
We should all be proud of this move in an effort to further fight for which amount to the underlying interest of Internet privacy rights and freedoms.
