David Kravets over at Wired Blog Network’s Threat Level has a great piece on the travesty of abuse that is the RIAA’s campaign to go after illicit music downloads. Its been 5 years, with over 30,000 lawsuits filed and one jury trial victory that is likely to be reversed.
The real problem with the whole mess is that the RIAA litigation scheme is predicated on suing people who can’t afford an attorney to defend themselves. (Note the paucity of actually litigated victories.) Unable to defend themselves, the RIAA then extorts outlandish settlement amounts from them.
