Will they ever learn?

Sticking with draconian business models and suing one's own customers is, unfortunately, not limited to the RIAA in the US. Its British counterpart seems to have decided to defend itself in the same silly manner.

BBC NEWS | Technology | File-sharers face legal onslaught:


he music industry has launched a fresh legal assault on people accused of illegal file-sharing.
The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) is taking legal action against nearly 2,000 song-swappers in 10 countries.

The British music industry says illegal file-sharing has cost it £1.1bn over the last three years.

But a report suggests that illegal downloads are continuing to grow despite the legal risks.

Research firm XTN data said that illegal downloads in the UK have increased by 3% to 28% of music downloads since last September.
