Record Industry Sues Music File Swappers Sep 8, 7:03 PM EST The music industry's largest trade group filed 261 copyright lawsuits across the country Monday against Internet users who trade songs online, an aggressive campaign to discourage piracy through fears of expensive civil penalties or settlements com Subpoena Defense: www â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: RIAA: www " "I can understand why the music industry is upset about this, but the fact that we had access to this as the public, I don't think gives them the right to sue us," said Schamis, who added she is unemployed and would be unable to pay any large fine or settlement The RIAA named as the defendant in each lawsuit the person who paid for the household Internet account "They come in and get on the computer riaa " The RIAA also announced an amnesty program for people who admit they illegally share music, promising not to sue them in exchange for their admission and pledge to delete the songs off their computers "It's wrong on their part "This is ridiculous," said Schamis, 26 S " Sen "That question will come up immediately, whether a minor can have the requisite knowledge to be the right defendant," said Susan Crawford, who teaches cyberlaw at Yale University's Cardozo law school He said he downloaded about 500 songs from others on the Internet before his Internet provider notified him about the music industry's interest in his activities "They have a legitimate interest that needs to be protected, but are they protecting it in a way that's too broad and overreaching?" Coleman said "There's no simpler advice than that, whether you intend to fight this or not copyright laws allow for damages of $750 to $150,000 for each song offered illegally on a person's computer "There comes a time when you have to stand up and take appropriate action How do I get out of this? Dadgum it, got to get a lawyer on this , has already promised congressional hearings into how the music industry has identified and tracked the Internet users it's suing org "Nobody likes playing the heavy," said RIAA President Cary Sherman, who compared illegal music downloads to shoplifting "It doesn't seem like it would be appropriate to invite amnesty in that situation; it would be an invitation to infringe until you get caught," Sherman said " Yale University professor Timothy Davis, who also was among those named in the earlier lawsuits, said he will stop sharing music files immediately " With estimates that half of file-sharers are teenagers, all sides braced for the inevitable legal debate surrounding the financial damage to parents or grandparents "People like me who did this, I didn't understand it was illegal " He called the amnesty offer "our version of an olive branch Its first round was aimed at what it described as "major offenders" illegally distributing on average more than 1,000 copyrighted music files each "Get a lawyer," advised Fred von Lohmann, a lawyer for the San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation subpoenadefense The RIAA also said it already has negotiated $3,000 settlements with fewer than 10 Internet users who learned they might be sued after the RIAA sent copyright subpoenas to their Internet providers "I didn't do it, and I don't feel like I'm responsible," Pickle said Internet users broadly acknowledge music-trading is illegal, but the practice has flourished in recent years since copyright statutes are among the most popularly flouted laws online "I'm not a computer-type person," Pickle said Durwood Pickle, 71, of Richardson, Texas, said his teenage grandchildren downloaded music onto his computer during their visits to his home It isn't like I'm trying to broadcast these things anywhere He said his grown son had explained the situation in an e-mail to the recording industry association She acknowledged downloading "lots" of music over file-sharing networks "I don't want to make criminals out of 60 million kids, even though kids and grandkids are doing things they shouldn't be doing "A very young child who didn't know what they were doing would be a bad defendant for the industry You'll need someone to advise you " The RIAA did not identify for reporters which Internet users it was suing or where they live " Some defense lawyers have objected to the amnesty provisions, warning that song publishers and other organizations not represented by the RIAA won't be constrained by the group's promise not to sue U The offer does not apply to people who already are targets of legal action â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? AP business writer Alex Veiga contributed to this story from Los Angeles Federal courthouses in New York, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas and elsewhere reported receiving some lawsuits Norm Coleman, R-Minn " Pickle, who was unaware he was being sued until contacted by The Associated Press, said he rarely uses the computer in his home " Another defendant, Lisa Schamis of New York, said her Internet provider warned her two months ago that record industry lawyers had asked for her name and address, but she said she had no idea she might be sued " An estimated 60 million Americans participate in file-sharing networks, using software that makes it simple for computer users to locate and retrieve for free virtually any song by any artists within moments "Nobody gets a free pass here The Recording Industry Association of America warned it ultimately may file thousands of cases "I've been pretending it was going to go away," said Davis, who teaches photography He added: "I'm not some kind of college student who's downloaded thousands and thousands of things "It's been stopped now, I guarantee you that For the third year in a row, a "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire"-style quiz was part of the contest In the live three-hour telecast, their brains were to be evaluated in addition to their bodies While contestants were focusing on their competition, pageant organizers were busy trying to spice up the telecast, which has hemorrhaged viewers in recent years â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: http://www " Three days after the approach of Hurricane Isabel threatened to postpone the whole shebang, the pageant was all set for Boardwalk Hall, the Depression-era landmark that has hosted it every year since 1940 To the victor will go the spoils: a rhinestone tiara, a runway walk, $50,000 in scholarship aid, a yearlong national speaking tour and â€â€? after it â€â€? the permanent tag of "former Miss America Among them: Miss Wisconsin Tina Sauerhammer, already an M at age 22; Miss Virginia Nancy Redd and Miss Rhode Island Laurie Gray, both recent Harvard University graduates; and Miss New Mexico Rana Jones, a second-year law student Last year, about 12 million people watched the crowning of Harold, an all-time low Among the wrinkles this time around: a "viewing party" hosted by Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter of the ABC reality show "The Bachelorette" and a live performance by "American Idol" runner-up Clay Aiken S missamerica Women representing the states of Missouri, Michigan, Virginia, Indiana, Maryland, Rhode Island, California, Florida, Alabama, Hawaii, New Hampshire, Georgia, Oklahoma, Wisconsin and New Jersey remained in the running D Army private captured in Iraq The winner was to be crowned by Miss America 2003 Erika Harold, 23, of Urbana, Ill Then there's Miss Iowa Nicole White, a certified forklift operator, and Miss New York Jessica Lynch, who's no relation to the U This year's contenders may boast the best academic credentials the judges have seen in years org , who won the title last year after delaying her entry to Harvard Law School Miss America Contestants Down to 15 Sep 20, 7:59 PM EST Will it be the forklift driver or the physician?
