The RIAA Gets Sued
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 03:30 PM
"The litigious Recording Industry Association of America is involved in another legal dispute with a P-to-P technology maker, but this time, the RIAA is on defense. Altnet filed a lawsuit this week accusing the RIAA and several of its partners of infringing an Altnet patent covering technology for identifying requested files on a P-to-P network. The lawsuit is the next step in a campaign Altnet launched in November 2003, when it sent cease-and-desist letters to a number of companies, including those it is now suing. Joining Altnet, based in Woodland Hills, California, as plaintiffs in the suit are Brilliant Digital Entertainment, Altnet's parent company; and Kinetech, a patent holding company that developed the technology in question and exclusively licenses it to Brilliant and Altnet."
I got a good chuckle when I read this - the RIAA is getting what it deserves as far as I'm concerned. :lol:
