Distorted amendment 138 tries to present graduated response as legal
,----[ Quote ]
| The Council of EU is trying to reintroduce a distorted version of amendment
| 138 to “Telecoms Package”1. It could be interpreted by the archaic industries
| promoting "graduated response" as authorizing any administrative authority to
| order restrictions on fundamental rights and freedom. Such a legalization of
| parallel administrative justice, comparable to the French “graduated
| response” is unacceptable. The European Parliament must strongly reject this
| huge threat to EU citizen's freedom.

The RIAA vs. 19 Year Old Cancer Patient
,----[ Quote ]
| Among the RIAA's latest targets in its campaign to sue its customer base into
| submission is a 19-year-old cancer patient. Ciaro Sauro was ruled a music
| pirate after failing to defend herself in court against charges from the RIAA
| that she was sharing music files online. Ms. Sauro has said she couldn't
| defend herself as she is hospitalized once a week, and vehemently denies the
| allegations that she is a pirate.

RIAA Sued For Racketeering Yet Again
,----[ Quote ]
| A few people have filed lawsuits against the RIAA for racketeering in the
| past, though these charges have always been dismissed. In one such case,
| where the filed charges were dismissed over the summer, new claims were filed
| again charging the RIAA with racketeering for extortion, mail fraud and wire
| fraud in its ongoing efforts involving weakly supported threats against
| alleged file sharers demanding money to avoid being sued.
