Wired News: U.S. Backs RIAA in ISP Fight
I'm certainly not a lawyer, but I'm not so sure it's right to force Verizon or any other company to reveal the names of people trading songs over the web. I believe the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) should have had the foresight to become part of the technology behind the downloading and trading of music. Its failure to do so is causing them to jam the judicial system with unnecessary legal proceedings. Maybe an "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" attitude would be a better way to deal with this issue. There must be some way to reach a compromise settling this once and for all. RIAA really needs to get with the program.
