We have been inundated with RIAA notices this week - what we usually get in 3-4 months we got this week! Is anyone else experiencing this kind or increase?
I think the size of the operations to search and find P2P has grown quite a bit in the last 6 months. With most cases being settled out of court for ~2k a pop per violation... thats a pretty penny to add to the bottom line at the end of a tough quarter. I am guessing this is the MPAA/RIAA's push to get more of it prosecuted/dealt with. I would bet that in 6 weeks or so that a large number of supeona's or whatever other legal thingees will be issued. -- Stephen Smoogen -- ITS/Linux Administrator MSC02 1520 1 University of New Mexico Albuquerque, NM 87131-0001 Phone: (505) 277-8219 Email: smooge () unm edu How far that little candle throws his beams!
