Arrow download music ? face huge fines
the RIAA :******: is stepping up its action against file-sharing in music and is to adopt a stricter fines system with law suits coming in the next few weeks against users demanding atleast £90,000

sounds like he is subliminally telling customers to install a firewall to stop the RIAA having access to scanning your files to me hehe

'at the moment' are the operative words. America has an increasingly unpleasant and arrogant habit of forcing other countries to bend to their will.

Well, whilst more advanced clients will come along, the RIAA will still have access to them. Due to the very nature of P2P software, if you want to share your files, then others must know how to find and access them... including the RIAA! Simply by looking for files that are similar to their copyrighted material and then doing a partial / full download, they can determine whether you are indeed in breach of copyright laws... they're using nothing particularly clever to do this.

I've seen similar trends already with organisations [1] trying to take persons that make their customers software available for download online to court by issuing notices of claimed infringement to the ISP, detailing the source of the P2P host and the infringement details - the onus is then on the ISP to provide the relevant details for the person responsible so that any possible legal actions can be followed up.

Could this be the end of the road for P2P piracy??
