RIAA Sues Usenet, Decries it as 'Brazen Outlaw'
By David Kravets 10.16.07 | 4:00 PM
The Recording Industry Association of America's litigation strategy is
taking a detour into the internet's Precambrian layer, suing a company
that distributes the ancient decentralized message board known as
Usenet.
Fargo, North Dakota-based Usenet.com is the target of the lawsuit
(.pdf) filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New
York, in which 14 recording companies allege the service "enables and
encourages its customers to reproduce and distribute millions of
infringing copies of Plaintiff's valuable copyrighted sound
recordings."


What a crock of crap. Why not sue creators of hard disk drives
and Intel and AMD and every ISP .....?


Give them time ......
