The outspoken one speaks again
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/88228/riaa-exceo-questions-use-of-individual-lawsuits.htmlThe former CEO of the Recording Association of America (RIAA) believes that lawsuits against individual file sharers no longer serve a purpose.
Hilary Rosen, who left the organisation that represents the interests of the major record companies in 2003, said
'I do share a concern that the lawsuits have outlived most of their usefulness and that the record companies need to work harder to implement a strategy that legitimizes more p2p sites and expands the download and subscription pool by working harder with the tech community to get devices and music services to work better together.
She also said that the industry should reconsider its position on copy protection and digital rights management (DRM), particularly proprietary DRM systems such as that employed on iPods.
Once agian Hilary tells it how she thinks it is, its a pity she is not in charge any longer to spearhead a reputable campaign that does not attempt to disrupt lives for the price of a few MP3,s.
