RIAA and Techethics

by cactus pete . Updated 23 years, 2 months ago

In January, mrafrohead started a discussion about the music industry backing a hacker to develop exlpoits in file swapping software. [Thread 116181]

This morning on CNN, and in an article sent to me via TR today, I saw that this is at least somewhat true. Here’s the link TR sent to me:

My questions:

Do you feel it is within the rights of the music industry to protect their copyrights to this extent?

Do you feel it violates the rightsof the computer users at all?

Any other opining contributors?

I’ll make my views on this clear later, if you don’t already know them…
