Could the RIAA's oppression finally be over?
« on: May 25, 2007, 10:09:30 pm »
Wow, it seems there is a case involving a counterclaim to demand the RIAA give up 'exclusive rights' to their copyrights on the grounds of copyright misuse!

The great part is the judge involved has denied the RIAA's motion to dismiss the counterclaim!

This effectively means that if the RIAA loses, the copyrights will go into public domain, and labels will most likely pull support from RIAA, fearing their products will be jepoardized...

This could be the turn of the tide :)

Be Good!

Lets hope something comes of this as its likely ensure future claims for infringement are not made frivolously and merely because its easy to extort money from those who cannot defend themselves due to lacking finances to do so.

This case is one of many currently being argued through the courts and from many different angles, it only takes one or two losses by the RIAA and its members to set a precedent that can be used in all the other cases where they are claiming infringement, the all or nothing method is likely to be dropped if they lose this important case as it would force them to take stock of how abusing the legal system could impact on their revenue generation, something they have not had to worry over before
