p2pnet news view RIAA | Freedom | P2P:- The Free Software Foundation has filed a second Friend of the Court brief on behalf of an RIAA victim on the unconstitutionality of the RIAA’s “statutory damages” theory, says Ray Beckerman in Recording Industry vs The People . Record company claims, demanding $750 to $150,000 for download of a single MP3, are contrary to American law, says the brief. If there’s any justice in the world, this new filing will be of enormous significance in stopping the RIAA litigation juggernaut dead in its tracks.
