File-swapping case may break new ground.

As stated earlier the EFF is going to support Music City, Kazaa and Grokster against the RIAA suit that was brought forth.


"Indeed, software developers are watching the MusicCity suit with more trepidation than shown at the higher-profile Napster case. It does not operate a network in the same way that Napster did before it stopped file-swapping in July. But MusicCity distributes advertisement-supported software that helps people create the network on their own. Thus, the suit raises a question of software distributors' liability"

If Bridges wins his argument then the Gestapo might come after individuals who swap files.
It seems the RIAA is making a mountain out of a mole hill and this is only going to make people go in the opposite direction. Where do they find these people?
