Absolutely fucking incredible, where will they stop?
| Quote: |
It’s illegal to rip CDs: RIAA
p2pnet news | RIAA News:- Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG’s RIAA is now trying to claim making MP3s from personal music files and putting them in a shared folder is in and of itself a copyright infringement!
On page 15 of its brief on Atlantic v Howell:
“It is undisputed that Defendant possessed unauthorized copies … Virtually all of the sound recordings … are in the ‘.mp3′ format for his and his wife’s use … Once Defendant converted Plaintiffs’ recordings into the compressed .mp3 format and they are in his shared folder, they are no longer the authorized copies’…”
So posts Recording Industry vs The People, quoting from the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) online document.
Interestingly, the fact RIAA ‘expert witness’ Doug Jacobson’s abilities have been seriously called into question notwithstanding, the Big 4 ‘trade’ organisation is still using him to present testimony.
“Each of the 11 sound recordings on Exhibit A to Plaintiffs’ Complaint were stored in the .mp3 format in the shared folder on Defendant’s computer hard drive, and each of these eleven files were actually disseminated from Defendant’s computer. (See Jacobson Decl. ¶ 6 and Exhibit 1 thereto.). says the court paper.’
Definitely stay tuned. |

WTF? I can't help asking myself when will they realize that all the MP3 player manufacturers should be sued, since they encourage ripping CDs and so on. These people are insane! I guess they eat too much processed food, all their neurons are dead!
[edit]
 What did I just say? Wanna see?

LOL, control is better done over tangible stuff; not over vitual ones. They lose their way on how to control things. Desperate moves... gambits... takings... King alone against pawns. |
