http://news.com.com/RIAA+sends+letters+to+P2P+services/2100-1030_3-5867085.html?tag=nefd.top

The Recording Industry Association of America has sent letters to seven peer-to-peer companies, asking them to halt what the RIAA alleges is their practice of encouraging users to illegally distribute copyrighted material.

In a copy of the letter obtained by CNET News.com, the RIAA states: "We demand that you immediately cease-and-desist from enabling and inducing the infringement of RIAA member sound recordings. If you wish to discuss pre-litigation resolution of these claims against you, please contact us immediately."

The letter, dated Tuesday, Sept. 13, goes on to say that the U.S. Supreme Court decision involving Grokster applies equally to the company and certain individuals at the company.

Other companies in the peer-to-peer file-swapping market include i2Hub, BitTorrent, WinMX and Free Peers, maker of file-swapping software BearShare.

BearShare, WinMX and LimeWire were identified in a Wall Street Journal story as recipients of the letters.
LimeWire declined to comment, and Free Peers did not return phone calls. WinMX representatives could not be reached for comment.

Folks feel free to email our friend Carey demanding to know why his organisations members are illegaly attacking the swapping of freeware aand causing disruption to the network against a court judgement stating p2p is legal for this type of activity.
