All,

  Well now it seems that perhaps the tables have yet again turned
against the RIAA's tactics and it may be that such has caught up
with them in a more serious way than just Judge ordered contempt
and financial damage orders.

  Yet again it also seems that ICANN's IPC has yet to take appropriate
action and give the RIAA the boot, and further damagng ICANN's
reputation along with the IPC's....

http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/02/27/223250&tid=141 massive
layoffs are about to cost many employees their job. On top of
that, the anti-piracy outfit
http://torrentfreak.com/riaa-sued-for-fraud-abuse-and-legal-sham-090301/
is being sued in North Carolina for abusing the legal system in its war
on piracy, particularly for civil conspiracy, deceptive trade practices,
trespassing and computer fraud in SONY BMG Music Entertainment v.
Moursy. Named along with the record companies as defendants on the
counterclaims
are  http://www.p2pnet.net/story/18654 Safenet (formerly known as
MediaSentry) and the RIAA.

This case first started out as 'LaFace Records v. Does 1-38' until the
court
http://recordingindustryvspeople.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html#2032480472465211335
required the RIAA to break it up into 38 separate cases, at which point
it morphed into 'SONY BMG Music Entertainment v. Doe.' Only after the
RIAA finally got its 'expedited' discovery did it become SONY v. Moursy.
And from the looks of things, it has a long, long way to go. The RIAA
hasn't
even filed its answer to the counterclaims yet, but is making a motion
to dismiss them on the grounds of legal insufficiency. Sound like a good 
investment of record company resources, anyone?"
