RIAA wants the Internet shut down:
"ONE OF THE lawyers involved in defending cases bought against people by the RIAA claims that if the music industry wins a crucial case, the Internet will have to be switched off.
Speaking on the DefectiveByDesign anti-DRM campaign site, Ray Beckerman said the case of Electro vs. Barker has become very important for the web's future.
Barker was being defended by Beckerman who made a motion to dismiss the case because the RIAA had forgot to provide any acts or dates or times of copyright infringement as the law normally requires.
The RIAA argued that by merely making files available on the Internet Barker was making a copyright infringement.
Beckerman said that it was a shocking argument because if it were accepted by the court it would probably shut down the entire Internet. If you send any file on the Net the RIAA will be allowed to suspect that you are in breach of copyright.
What was more disturbing is that the RIAA called up its mates in Washington to back it up. Apparently the United States Government has put in motions supporting the RIAA."

Mitä tulee netin sulkemiseen, jos RIAA todella saa valtuudet toteuttaa tuon (mitä en usko) niin sitten on maailma ihan mennyt sekaisin ja ihmiset hulluiks. Ei voi jollain tekijänoikeusorganisaatiolal olla niin paljon valtaa että se siihen pystyy.
Tai että pystyisi edes kieltämään kaikenlaisen tiedostonjaon, tiedostoja kun on netissä jaossa myös laillisia, esim. Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, Audacity, eri linux-versiot jne jne jne netissä on satoja...ei vaan tuhansia ellei kymmeniä tuhansia freeware ja open source ohjelmia, jos lasketaan myös shareware ja demot, luulen että noiden laillisten jaossa olevien tiedostojen määrä nousee miljooniin.
Et kai tosissaan usko tota :) The Inquirer on pilailu-"uutis" sivusto
