All,

  Well while ICANN does some more spinning in Mexico City,
the real world moves onward.  In this instance however it seems
that yet again the RIAA has decided to take on Tech investors
supposedly in an effort to "Draing the Swamp" from their perspective
I suppose, and thereby hopefully intend to reduce what they believe
is violating their clients copywrites.  Interesting stratagy, but
obviously in the end, another failed one.
See:
The RIAA isn't just suing tens of thousands of music consumers; they've
also begun filing lawsuits naming the directors of and investors in tech
companies that they believe contribute to copyright infringement.

draft legislation that I posted, which would immunize from secondary
copyright infringement liability any work done by a director in 'his or
her capacity as a member of the board of directors or committee
thereof,'and any conduct by an investor based solely upon his or her
having 
'invested in any such corporation, including any oversight, monitoring, 
or due diligence activities in connection therewith.'"
