Will you get sued by the RIAA?
Over in the US of A, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) recently announced that it will begin suing users of peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing systems "within the next few weeks". So, will you get treated as a criminal for sharing music and happiness with friends and strangers? No one knows. However, thanks to the
EFF, you can
prepare yourself and even lookup if your name or IP is known to the RIAA database
online. The EFF is a hard-working, respected, non-profit organization for cyber-rights. One of their founders,
John Gilmore, will be a speaker at the
conference part of the Chaos Communication Camp in August.
