The Recording Industry Association of America has said that an Arizona resident whose computer contains almost 2,000 songs ripped from CDs he bought legally is in violation of copyright law for creating the collection.

Jeffery Howell is accused of sharing the songs, but industry officials said he should not have made the copies from his CD collection onto his computer. The RIAA recently won a $220,000 judgment from a woman who downloaded 24 songs.

Lawyer Ray Beckerman said, "Recently, the industry has been going around saying that even a personal copy on your computer is a violation." Beckerman, who has experience in such cases, has attacked the RIAA's position.

RIAA has already dug itself in to a whole, it's going along the same path as Jack Thompson and he's as close as you can get without being disbarred.

Both of them will be gone soon and the reasonable world will be better because of it. Simply a matter of time.

bs, it's your fucking cd's do what ever you want with them. If you follow the rules and don't give your songs out, I see no problem with ripping them to your computer as a (back up) . Oh and for them to get a woman that as downloaded 24 songs for 220,000 is complete utter bs as well. PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS steal, download music for free.

I guess iPod's must be illegal too then, cause you have to copy it from the CD to get it there.

Nope, they actually want you to rebuy the music off of their download websites in order to use it on an mp3 player.

Are you kidding me? They already put enough bullshit out, including the stuff with internet radio, which shut down a bunch of my favorite stations because of the insane costs, but really, putting YOUR OWN music on to your computer for legit purposes is illegal? Fuck off riaa.

This is one of the worst law I heard. If you have music on your computer but you are not connected to the internet then there is no way for them to find out if you have music on your computer or not.

They are attacking the servers here though, first deilir.is gets shut down, then torrent.is.

But that's it, they target the servers, not the ones downloading nor the ones uploading here AFAIK.

I'd say roughly 75% of the US population has downloaded illegal music. I think they should just give up and go basejumping without a parachute.
