In an unsurprising move the RIAA filed many, many lawsuits against file-sharers today and revealed its amnesty plan in its attempt to stop copyright infringement and increase profits. I think it just succeeded in alienating more consumers, and may have finally opened the door to finally bringing down the DMCA and itself.
It’s rather interesting. The roommate and I were discussing how we might just start buying cds again from Universal since they finally came to their senses and dropped cd prices, but after this, I think the boycott is still on until after Christmas.
