RIAA sues... (again): The RIAA has just issued a new lawsuit against 532 more "illegal filesharers"
only this time, they're also using the "john doe" approach meaning that they dont have to have ascertain your name by strongarming ISPs, but by suing your IP address, they let the judicial system take care of that little detail.

RIAA settles with a disadvantaged, now sick, 12-year-old girl. Read
CNN's brief of the settlement and the feel-good synopsis by Gary Sherman, president of RIAA. OR, head over to the
UK to learn that the 12-yr-old has been getting sick from anxiety, feels terrible for the fragile artists and lives in a rent control apartment with her family. I'd take the UK's cynicism over the US slant anyday.

Lessig and the RIAA's Matt Oppenheim This great Q&A between two very well spoken opponents in the copyright wars answers (very clearly) many of the questions that have stemmed from the ongoing erosion of the public domain by copyright law and the degradation of the music industry by file swappers. I was struck by how straight many of the answers were... a fascinating read
