Reply-To: sjmanning () fymc com Good morning, Dave. For IP if you wish.Perhaps you and IP’ers can share your wisdom on the legality and commercial propriety of FILE SHARING, specifically music.
The Recording Industry Association of America, RIAA, is rapaciously pursuing people who engage in music file trading. At the heart of the legal matter before a Massachusetts court are the Digital Theft Deterrence and Copyright Damages Improvement Act of 1999 and, eventually I expect, the assault/defense of various fundamental copyright laws. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,453365,00.html
As an owner of intellectual property, how can one allow such wanton trespass on his/her clearly and unequivocally obvious rights?
And yet, millions of files, ‘other people’s stuff’, are being passed about with heretofore perceived impunity. One on hand you have the creator and unchallenged owner of the property. On the other, many people who are getting benefit from that property without any consideration to the owners of that property.
Thanks all for your thinking and clarity on this. -- Steven J.
