New Danger Mouse CD Released As A Blank CD-R Due To Legal Fight With EMI
,----[ Quote ]
| Of course, one of the main reasons why the album became so well known was
| because EMI sent cease-and-desist letters to everyone who posted copies of
| the album, and then to anyone who posted that they were going to participate
| in the "Grey Tuesday" protest. The whole thing seemed pretty silly. It's not
| as if anyone listening to The Grey Album would find it a substitute for
| either of the other albums.

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.
