Thirty-four University of Maine System students will receive an unwelcome letter this week. On November 15 the Recording Industry Association of America announced on it’s website that 417 Pre-litigation settlement letters had been sent to college students nation wide, including 34 here in Maine. The letters are part of the RIAA’s campaign against “music theft” and copyright infringement.
Announcement of this action by the RIAA came out, ironically, the same week that one of the leading advocates of such suits Edgar Bronfman, CEO of Warner Music Group, did an abrupt about face on the subject. See Nerdwirds previous story on this.
What the heck!? I had know idea this had happened when I made yesterdays post about Edgar Bronfman. Like I said, and to quote Alanis Morissette: "Isn’t It Ironic?"
