All,

  Well it seems that yet again the RIAA has "Stepped in it"!
And woe is the reflection of the IPC..  Is ICANN getting it
yet?  Not likely...

See:
(November 17 & 18, 2008)
Harvard Law School professor Charles Nesson has taken on the case of a
Boston University graduate student who has been targeted by a lawsuit
from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).  Nesson's
argument focuses on the Digital Theft Deterrence and Copyright Damages
Improvement Act of 1999, which he says is unconstitutional because it
allows the RIAA, a private organization, "Carry out civil enforcement
of a criminal law."
