Tankus Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 The register has an interesting news item yesterday that will keep the US courts busy for years to come.........Starting Thursday, pigopolist grunts will begin combing P2P networks in search of industrious file traders. Once the RIAA has targeted a large store of copyrighted files, it will serve a subpoena on the user's ISP, grab his/her name and address, and fire off a lawsuit. For now, file traders should swap with caution. The RIAA plans to inject network scanning software out into the vast P2P world and track what files users are looking for and what they trade. If the RIAA bot spots an infringing song, it marks the date and time the file is accessed.More information about KaZaA from Pest PatrolAnd there are more concerns. Many experts consider that a legal time bomb is already ticking. The KaZaA network of users provides an ideal launch pad for virus strikes on third parties. If a user is infected by a virus that subsequently spreads to affect and damage a large company, then it is highly likely that the damaged company can seek redress from the user that infected it – even if that user was unaware of his or her initial viral infection.
