Re: US Lawmakers Demand That Colleges Crack Down on Illegal File Sharing

[Jim Moore <jhmfa () CIS RIT EDU>]

I saw the following about RIAAs website denial of service:

RIAA.org web site DoS'd offline all week
Disabled war veteran hosts disabled RIAA website from home computer ?

"Ciarán Tannam reports that the Recording Industry Association of
America's website has been down for a week, again, and did we why know?
I think we can help. At the end of January, the RIAA gave
responsibilities for the site to a hitherto little-heard-of operation in
Rockville, MD called Tomorrow's Solutions Today, or TST Inc. The site is
run by one Kevin Dziekonski, and the RIAA appears to be his very first
live customer."

Which makes me wonder all the more about the technical validity of the
"complaints" that they are lodging.
