      proof that the artists in at least this country are still making similar revenue regardless of filesharing. The labels however are a different story.

      An interesting idea for record labels to make up for the lack of revenue from selling albums but if labels are taking a cut from this then should they also offer a cut rate to their album sales with the increase of profit from this sector?

    Good look at how file sharing is affecting the record labels more so then the artists and how those who share files actually purchase more content then those who don't.

P2P lawyers score a victory; mass subpoenas can proceed - 0 views

  •  
    One way that some have tried to deal with piracy is by suing large groups of people that are sharing a file, rather than sue individual people. The problem is that there is a debate on whether it is alright to clump these people into a single case. This article shows that some attorneys have ruled that you may not lump multiple file sharers into a single case, while others have ruled this practice to be fine.

RIAA Focuses on Colleges for Anti-Piracy Efforts : NPR - 0 views

  •  
    Article discusses how the RIAA is issuing letters to suspected copyright infringing music downloaders and sharers and asking them to turn themselves in and pay a reduced fine, which will still be in the thousands of dollars, or else they will sue them for all they have or might ever have. Lawyer from University of Southern California talks about how letters are actually just "cease and desist letters" and that suspected offenders might not want to turn themselves in because the RIAA might not be able to find out their identities otherwise since many schools ISP's are not keeping track of or releasing students' names, personally identifiable IP addresses, or other information.

RIAA to Stop Suing Music Fans, Cut Them Off Instead | Epicenter | Wired.com - 0 views

  •  
    Article discusses RIAA's new approach to curbing the downloading portion of file sharing. RIAA is working with ISP's to have them slow down the internet connections of people who are downloading music illegally. Does not mention anything about doing the same for people who are sharing though. The sharers are still being sued.
