In a major victory for record companies, a U.S. District Court judge yesterday (Jan. 21) ruled in favor of the Recording Industry Assn. of America (RIAA) in its 6-month-old lawsuit against Internet service provider Verizon.
It'a a new victory for big record companies: a U.S. District Court judge yesterday (Jan. 21) ruled in favor of the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) in its 6-month-old lawsuit against Internet service provider Verizon. The RIAA had claimed that Verizon was obligated under the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to identify a subscriber who had illegally made more than 600 copyrighted music files available over the Internet. Again and again, the right to make private copies, and to share music with other music-lovers is restricted.
