RIAA loses one
Finally, it looks like the RIAA is being forced to accept reasonable compensation for file sharing damages. Still excessive according to the judge, but the message has been sent. The same law that protects large companies from excessive verdicts applies to individuals as well. No doubt that copyright violations should be prosecuted, but the RIAA and friends have simply been given far too much power. Here's hoping we can come up with something reasonable when this is all said and done.

Well, this could be finally a sign of that democracy and laws in the end are still able to win. But I'd still defend that this kind of fiscalization should be done by the state directly, and not by some "obscure" organizations.
