Another day, another legal issue focusing on downloading music from the Web. This, however, is something a little bit different. The RIAA is trying to get a USA-based ISP, Verizon, to hand over details of a specific user who is allegedly swapping lots of files on P2P networks. Will the record industry win this case? No, of course not. Will it make the people who download music stop? No, of course not. So what should they do? Start selling MP3 based tracks on the web at decent prices. Forget proprietary files as used on the "Digital Download Day". People want complete freedom to burn and use their purchased tunes without any corruption of their rights. Simple, really....A US judge has said that the law governing the trading of music files over the internet is unclear. District Judge John D Bates was hearing a test case brought by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) which aims to help put an end to the online swapping of copyright music. The music companies want to force internet service provider Verizon to reveal the identity of a subscriber who allegedly used its services to trade copyrighted songs. If they can obtain the names and addresses of song-swappers - without going to court first - they can bombard them with written warnings ordering them to stop. The US music industry says online song-swapping is depriving it of tens of millions of dollars every year.
