How funny can life be? Just recently the RIAA endorsed a bill wich would make it legal to hack into peer-to-peer networks. This weekend the site of the RIAA itself was down due to a denial-of-service attack. I think this makes lots of people chuckle.
The malicious flood started on Friday and did not involve any intrusion into the RIAA's internal network, a representative for the trade association said on Monday afternoon. Nobody has claimed credit for the denial-of-service attack, which ended at 2 a.m. PDT on Monday.
"Don't they have something better to do during the summer than hack our site?" asked the RIAA representative, who asked not to be identified. "Perhaps it at least took 10 minutes away from stealing music."
I believe we should still stick to legal answers because this gives them plenty more reasons to diminish our privacy. On the other hand it is pretty hard to believe in legal ways when so many politicians support the RIAA.
Why don't they try a different approach? We are still waiting for a peer-to-peer network that is run by the music industry. Check out the complete article.
