Old Dec 30th, 2007, 11:37 AM        RIAA now extorting people who only convert their CDs to mp3 format
http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/07/12/30/059223.shtml

"With this past week's announcement by Warner to release its entire catalog to Amazon in MP3 format with no Digital Rights Management, you would think that the organization that represents them, The RIAA, would begin changing its tune. Instead, they are pressing on in their campaign against consumers by suing individuals who merely rip CDs they've purchased legally. 'The industry's lawyer in the case, Ira Schwartz, argues in a brief filed earlier this month that the MP3 files Howell made on his computer from legally bought CDs are "unauthorized copies" of copyrighted recordings.'"

Lets hope they press charges. It might get this issue sorted out sooner rather than later.
