Re: Harvard Law guru loses big to RIAA in court

said by Kearnstd:

i still think copyright cases involving P2P should be treated strictly at retail value. if the record goons want to call it theft instead of its proper legal name of copyright infringement then people should only be liable for the value of what is "stolen", in this case music which is worth on average 99 cents per track. if someone uploads 1000 tracks then they should only be liable for around a grand.
As much as I disagree with RIAA tactics. They're not sueing people for download. They're suing people for uploading. Thats why they primarily target p2p services, kazaa, bittorrent etc... Thats the problem with p2p, because you're uploading you're illegal involved indistributing a copyright works, which in the law, is way more heinous that just downloading it.
