Shoe's on the other foot now. I wonder if RIAA has paid out any of the money they're gotten from their lawsuits to the artists yet.

:Updated - Linky Link!: http://yro.slashdot.org/story/09/12/07/1917245/CRIA-Faces-60-Billion-Lawsuit To the tune of somewhere around 60 billion dollars. In a nutshell: Since 1980 every song on every compilation and Live CD made/printed/distributed in Canada has been released without consent (copyright infringement)! Slamming $20,000 per song on 300,000 songs heh. |

I'm guessing that number is somewhere between jack and squat. |

Do you have a link for where you read this? I haven't been to Slashdot yet so I suppose it could be on there. It's good to hear though. If it gets taken to court laws will hopefully change quickly and we'll stop hearing stories about how someone was sued for an excess of 1000 times the amount of what they "stole". *UPDATE* For anyone interested: http://yro.slashdot.org/story/09/12/07/ ... on-Lawsuit |

Just for correction, the amount is currently $6 billion. $20,000 per song x 300,000 songs = $6,000,000,000 This has got to be one of the best lawsuits ever! |
