RIAA legal action bears fruit
The RIAA has been playing ostrich in the sand for over a year now, successfully suing 70-year old grandmothers and 12-year old children for file-sharing. Finally, here's news that all of their efforts to curb music piracy has succeeded.
More people looked for information about the file-swapping program Kazaa than anything else on the net in 2003, according to search site Yahoo. It beat Harry Potter, Britney Spears and Eminem to top the list of the year's most popular searched-for terms.
It shows that despite legal moves by the recording industry to clamp down on illegal music swapping, surfers are still interested in such software.
So, Kazaa has managed to beat both Harry Potter and Paris Hilton. Will RIAA take a hint now?
