Job Security (Oct 01 2003 13:35 GMT) - I would never do this, but it amuses me greatly.

RIAA now to contact consumers before suing them (Oct 01 2003 13:32 GMT) - After a barrage of criticism resulting from its initial round of lawsuits, the RIAA is attempting to stem the tide of negative publicity by slightly altering their tactics. Now, before a lawsuit is filed, potential defendents will be contacted and given the opportunity to pony up some cash to make the problem go away, or argue that they haven't engaged in activities frowned upon by the RIAA.The shift, announced at a Senate hearing by Mitch Bainwol, chairman of the Recording Industry Association of America, was in response to critics who accused the music industry of casting too wide a legal net over alleged song pirates, ensnaring 12-year-olds and grandfathers alike. |
