This morning on NPR I heard this report about file sharing systems like
Kazaa, etc., and how the music industry is now planning to sue the people
who use the programs rather than the people who WROTE the programs, since
technically file sharing programs are not illegal.  So, starting today,
the RIAA (Record Industry Association something something) will be signing
on to file sharing programs and looking for people who are contributing a
considerable number of songs for download, and then they will force the
ISP to provide the individual's identity.  They are collecting evidence
for some huge lawsuit that I guess gets started this fall.  SO GET OFF THE
FILE SHARING SITES.  Inmediamente!!

Please send this along to anyone you know who downloads music and anyone I
may have forgotten to include above.  Thanks.

Fight the Power!!
