RIAA Tries to Get Public to Lobby Congress for “3-Strikes”

[p2p rules]

Creates “Music Rights Now” campaign to encourage the public to lobby their elected officials for stronger protections of Intellectual Property rights, citing countries like New Zealand, South Korea, France and the UK – all countries with “three-strikes” legislation – as examples of what’s possible.

The RIAA is apparently having a tough time convincing the country’s ISPs that it’s in their best interests to disconnect erstwhile loyal, paying customers. It’s now decided to create an ad hoc grassroots effort called “Music Rights Now” of individuals that it hopes will petition their elected officials to force them to implement a “three-strikes” regime and disconnect repeat accused file-sharers.
