August is "Ban Major Record Labels Month"
,----[ Quote ]
| In the past decade, have you downloaded music from a peer-to-peer service
| like LimeWire? Or shared files on the original Napster? Once? Twice? Lots? If
| so, you might want to hire a good lawyer, or consider moving to another
| country. Lately, major record labelsâspecifically, the "Big Four" (EMI,
| Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group, and
| their many subsidiaries)âhave been looking for folks like you.

RIAA Continues Crushing The Little Guys, But Music Industry Needs To Be Winning
Them Back
,----[ Quote ]
| The Recording Industry Association of America has continued its random
| financial assassination of hapless American file-sharers in their campaign
| to âprotect intellectual property rights worldwide.â Forget Pirate Bay, itâs
| the least prolific file-sharers who are getting bitten.

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.

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.
