Recording Industry vs The People

"A blog devoted to the RIAA's lawsuits of intimidation brought against ordinary working people." Run by Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman, two New York lawyers, this blog is an information clearinghouse for people who have been sued by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) "for having computers whose internet accounts were used to open up peer-to- peer file sharing accounts." (The site has a terrible layout -- pretty much everything is on one page -- but the information there is as useful as it is scary.) The bloggers find such cases "to be oppressive and unfair, as large multinational corporations gang up, in a cartel, to misuse the federal courts and sue ordinary working people for thousands of dollars" -- with little evidence to back up their cases.
