01/23/2004 02:45 AM
The Recording Industry Association of America
( RIAA ) filed more than five hundred lawsuits against filesharers for alleged
copyright infringement.
Because a recent federal appeals court decision prevents subpoenas
citing the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act from being issued prior to the filing of
lawsuits, defendants were identified only by their IP addresses
pending subpoenas being issued to their ISPs.
This appears to be a successor to last year's subpoena
campaign , which probably helped reduce aggregate
file-trading in 2003 .

Woman sued for file-sharing brings RICO
countersuit against RIAA
02/18/2004 10:53 AMA New Jersey mom who was sued for file-sharing by the RIAA has brought
a countersuit for racketeering.
The Rockaway Township woman, who claims she was targeted for her
teenager's school research project, is among hundreds of individuals
sued by the music industry since last summer. Another 531 computer
users were sued yesterday in "John Doe" suits filed in Trenton,
Atlanta, Philadelphia and Orlando.
Labels are using "scare tactics (that) amount to extortion" in efforts
to extract settlements, Scimeca alleges in legal papers sent to the
U.S. District Court in Newark.
"They're banding together to extort money, telling people they're
guilty and they will have to pay big bucks to defend their cases if
they don't pony up now. It is fundamentally not fair," Scimeca's
lawyer, Bart Lombardo, said yesterday. The Cranford attorney said he
occasionally downloads songs for personal use and sees nothing wrong
with that.

file format on an open media standard, the digital rights management

Music Industry Exec Defends Some File
Sharing
01/23/2004 07:37 PMComing just as the head of the International Federation of the
Phonographic Industry (IFPI) is claiming that the recording industry
needs a
"zero
tolerance" attitude on file sharing, a 30-year veteran of the
music industry is opening his mind to the possibilities and admitting
that
file
sharing appears to have some benefits to the industry. Andy
Taylor, who heads the Sanctuary Group, a company that seems to do a
variety of things in the music industry including representing various
artists and record labels, was quoted saying: "Sharing music is not
necessarily a bad thing." He points out that it's a good way for
people to investigate what's out there, figure out what they like, and
then go and buy it. "They (teenagers) don't have the money, so they
will only spend what money they have on something they really, really
care about." Fairly stunning to hear this from a recording industry
exec. However, he doesn't seem to fully get it. He still complains
about "those who have no intention ever of spending money on music,"
saying that they're the real pirates. They're not, though. If they
have no intention of ever spending any money on music than they're
certainly not taking away any money from the industry. The industry
wouldn't have gotten it either way. In fact, by letting those people
listen to music, it's possible that the industry can change those
listeners' minds. In listening to the free music, those who had no
intention of spending may find certain musicians interesting enough to
want to go out and see them, for instance.

Music industry smears file-sharing

04/14/2004 09:06 AMKoleman Strumpf, the co-author of the first-ever empirical study on
the impact of file-sharing on record sales, has found himself on the
receiving end of a withering attack from the music industry who argue
that their bought-and-paid-for, non-empirical "research" trumps his
analysis, attacking his conclusions.
Two years ago, Strumpf and Oberholzer-Gee set out to research the
matter. Strumpf's interest was piqued by the Napster trial, where the
recording industry alleged copyright violations that led to the demise
of the pioneering Web site in 2001. In the testimony, experts argued
that music downloads had to be the cause of slumping sales.
Strumpf read the studies they cited. They were horrible, he said.
"I was like, 'Boy, this is pretty amazing,' " said Strumpf, a
Philadelphia native. "Nobody has done a serious study."
