Record Label Stops Signing Artists Because of Piracy
,----[ Quote ]
| Despite this, there will also be labels
| that perform badly for unrelated reasons.
| How convenient is it then, to blame evil
| file-sharers for your disappointing
| results. The Finnish hard rock label Lion
| Music is doing just that, with rather
| dramatic consequences.

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.
