________________________________________________________________________________ Slashdot Several Boycotts of RIAA Organizing Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday July 27, @09:20AM from the consumers-get-a-say-too-ya-know dept. There are numerous grassroots efforts coming together to Boycott the RIAA . I've decided that I won't be buying any RIAA CDs for awhile personally (I've already cancelled a couple of orders, and I buy a ton of CDs) but decide for yourself. Should peer to peer file sharing should be legal or not on the internet? Should companies like Google and Yahoo should be held legally responsible for the content that they index? Meanwhile, the OpenNAP servers and Gnutella are proving that the genie is out of the bottle and while this lawsuit may set a huge legal precedent, it won't help the RIAA in the real world. They should really work with napster since there already is significant market share and potential for revenue. Gnutella and its kin won't have any centralized point. /* +>200K of discussion: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=00/07/27/1315217&mode=thread&threshold=-1 */ ________________________________________________________________________________ no copyright 2000 rolux.org - no commercial use without permission. is a moderated mailing list for the advancement of minor criticism. post to the list: mailto:inbox@rolux.org. more information: mailto:minordomo@rolux.org, no subject line, message body: info rolux. further questions: mailto:rolux-owner@rolux.org. home: http://rolux.org/lists - archive: http://rolux.org/archive
