Digital Natives: Battles with the RIAA

UPDATED: The Berkman Centre's Digital Natives Blog has posted the first two clips in a three part series in which they examine illegal downloading.

Zack McCune’s tells about how he got sued by the Recording Industry Association of America. He refers to the process of the investigation, the tracking of IP addresses and the ‘DMCA lottery’.

Zack settled his lawsuit for $3,000. While acknowledging that he did the wrong thing, he considers the lawsuits do nothing but alienate the industry’s primary consumer pool.

Part three will be posted soon (6th August).
