At a hearing of the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee yesterday, Big Music squared off with ISPs on a bill that would modify how copyright owners can pursue digital pirates through the courts. The bill would require copyright holders to file a civil lawsuit before obtaining a subpoena to gather personal information on alleged music pirates from an ISP. Currently, anyone claiming to be a copyright holder can obtain a subpoena to discover the name, address and telephone number of any Internet user alleged to be infringing a copyright. All the seeker needs to do is file a request with a court clerk, who is required by law to issue it.

I say don't get mad just get even!
I just a few weeks ago sent the systems operator of RIAA website a letter letting them know that I will give music to anyone who will take it and will tell my friends to do the same. I also told them how do you spell a bankrupt label? We the consumers WILL win this war! I also told them that I will not buy any Cds and will encourage my friends to boycott the Cd industry.
WE CAN win this war!
