p2pnet reports that RIAA dropping 'mass lawsuits' to look for 'more effective ways' to combat copyright infringement

By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman

ADVERTISEMENTS

According to this report in p2pnet.net, the RIAA is dropping its mass lawsuit campaign.

Needless to say, we will be looking into this.

[Ed. note. If it's true... it's about time. Meanwhile, what about the unfortunates who are presently entangled already in these unjust lawsuits? Why won't the RIAA drop those cases too? If it was bad business to start them, why isn't it bad business to keep on throwing good money after bad? I hope consumers will remember this 5 1/2-year reign of terror, and will shun RIAA products, and I hope the legal profession will place a black mark next to the names of those "lawyers" who participated in this foul calumny. -R.B.]
