    CD Rippers and RIAA Haters Relax

    The Washington Post fucked up that CD ripping story: http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-984...l?tag=nefd.top

    You can all calm down now...

    Incorrect and blown out of proportion
    However, his latest post about the RIAA changing their argument to say that making personal copies to one's own computer is infringement is misleading at best. And, worse, many big sites are repeating the claim. Unfortunately, it's not quite true and it seriously hurts the arguments of those who think the RIAA is going too far to mislead in this way. What the RIAA's lawyers clearly seem to be saying is that putting mp3 files that you legally ripped into a shared Kazaa folder makes them no longer authorized. In other words, this is simply an extension of their old standby, the argument that "making available" is infringement. The RIAA's argument here seems to be that putting content in a shared Kazaa folder is "making available," and if making available is infringement, then clearly these files infringe.

    Yeah ok... this sounds much more reasonable.

    Bah.

    It sucks. It's so much easier to demonise them and make them out to be soulless cash whores. Well.. they are.. for many other reasons apart from this... but still...
