So the RIAA calls for people to obey the law:

Maybe they should take their own advice.

Report showing how IP trackers will send a warning to anything:

http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=12120

For example, a printer.


However, showing that PeerGuardian may not be enough to protect you from said trackers is the real news in this story to me.

MPAA says that merely making things available should be enough to convict you:

The RIAA loses a case, but then the MPAA wins one:

Why the RIAA fight for music so voraciously:

http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=12743

News.com reports that Verizon is able to monetize the same song three times with the ringtone selling for $2.99, the ringback tone for $1.99, [b]and the full track for $0.99


People are such monetary idiots that they'll buy the same song at least 3 times.
