Not anymore! RIAA to sue music sharers? Not Anymore With the legal file sharing service kazaa still online, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) today announced that it intends to offer the latest albums for download from riaa.org. As you are probably aware, the RIAA has been pursuing a policy of preventing this activity in recent months We have recently become aware that this approach is yielding only limited results and in some cases may in fact be harming sales and the artists' revenue stream. The RIAA wishes to apologise for the heavy-handed manner in which the popular chinese site Listen4Ever was closed down, and would like to present the following items for free download as a token of its goodwill. Of course the list is relatively small, but please be patient - we expect to offer over 300 next week. We also intend to offer pre-released movies in the coming months. If what you want isn't on the list, then please try Kazaa Lite - available here # # # # BiGWill 08-31-2002, 11:05 AM well it's not down, but obviously under heavy load :D here's a mirror if you just wanna have a look: http://www.sackreis.net/riaa/ greets, XTStrike 08-31-2002, 11:08 AM lmao, someone just got the sack :D I guess their server admin just bashed his head on the wall and gave in. You gotta admit they probably will hack it again next week aswell to just well and truly take the pish out of the RIAA TheGAME1264 08-31-2002, 11:11 AM Sort of an about-face on the part of the RIAA, isn't it? :) Actually, there may be a partial explanation for this, at least in Canada. Here in the Great White North (eh?) a hidden tax will be implemented in 2003 on sales of CD-Rs and CD-RWs because of the nature of the way they are being used. I believe the money is going to the RIAA (at least the parts that don't line some bureaucrat's Armani suit pockets). I don't know if this is going on in any other countries, but if it is, that may well be the explanation.
