It expects to file at least several hundred lawsuits seeking financial damages within eight to 10 weeks "We have no hard and fast rule on how many files you have to be distributing MPAA Chief Jack Valenti said in a statement it was "our most sincere desire" to find technology solutions to protect digital copies of movies S U Executives for the RIAA, the Washington-based lobbying group that represents major labels, would not say how many songs on a user's computer will qualify for a lawsuit Rep Howard Berman, D-Calif "I'm sure it's going to freak them out," Godwin said "You have to look at exactly who are your customers," he said The Motion Picture Association of America said it supported the efforts, but notably did not indicate it plans to file large numbers of civil lawsuits against Internet users who trade movies online , who has proposed giving the entertainment industry new powers to disrupt downloads of pirated music and movies, said the RIAA's actions were overdue "Does anyone think more lawsuits are going to be the answer? Today they have declared war on the American consumer " The entertainment industry has gradually escalated its fight against piracy The new campaign comes just weeks after U "It doesn't take too many tickets to get everybody to obey the speed limit," Prestwood said "It's about time," Berman said in a statement " Sherman disputed that consumers, who are gradually turning to legitimate Web sites to buy music legally, will object to the industry's latest efforts against pirates " Country songwriter Hugh Prestwood, who has worked with Randy Travis, Tricia Yearwood and Jimmy Buffett, likened the effort to a roadside police officer on a busy highway Alluding to the court decisions, Sherman said Internet users who believe they can hide behind an alias online were mistaken We have come to the same conclusion to come within our radar screen," Sherman said " "It's stealing "We will go after the worst offenders first " The RIAA declined to estimate how much it expects to spend on the lawsuits The RIAA's president, Carey Sherman, said tens of millions of Internet users of popular file-sharing software after Thursday will expose themselves to "the real risk of having to face the music It's both wrong and illegal," Sherman said " Mike Godwin of Public Knowledge, a consumer group that has challenged broad crackdowns on file-sharing networks, said Wednesday's announcement was appropriate because it targeted users illegally sharing copyrighted files "This latest effort really indicates the recording industry has lost touch with reality completely," said Fred von Lohmann, a lawyer for the Electronic Frontier Foundation "The free ride is over file-traffickers have robbed copyright creators with impunity " He added: "I wouldn't be surprised if at least some people engaged in file-trading decide to resist and try to find ways to thwart the litigation strategy S appeals court rulings requiring Internet providers to identify subscribers suspected of illegally sharing music and movie files " The RIAA said its lawyers will file lawsuits initially against people with the largest collections of music files they can find online "You could say the same thing about shoplifters â€â€? are you worried about alienating them? All sorts of industries and retailers have come to the conclusion that they need to be able to protect their rights Critics accused the RIAA of resorting to heavy-handed tactics likely to alienate millions of Internet file-sharers The RIAA has previously sued four college students it accused of making thousands of songs available for illegal downloading on campus networks "We're going to begin taking names "For too long "You are not anonymous," Sherman said copyright laws allow for damages of $750 to $150,000 for each song offered illegally on a person's computer, but Sherman said the RIAA will be open to settlement proposals from defendants Music Labels Step Up Internet Piracy Hunt Jun 25, 1:48 PM EST The embattled music industry disclosed aggressive plans Wednesday for an unprecedented escalation in its fight against Internet piracy, threatening to sue hundreds of individual computer users who illegally share music files online But Wednesday's announcement was the first effort to target users who offer music on broadly accessible, public networks The Recording Industry Association of America, citing significant sales declines, said it will begin Thursday to search Internet file-sharing networks to identify users who offer "substantial" collections of mp3 music files for downloading The changes included allowing a single company to own TV stations reaching nearly half the nation's viewers and broadcast stations and a newspaper in the same area " She said the commission failed to get enough public comment before making its decision If Bush vetoed the resolution, it would take a two-thirds majority in the House and Senate to override D On Sept , said before the vote Byron Dorgan, D-N Defying a White House veto threat, the Senate voted 55-40 to undo changes to Federal Communications Commission regulations governing ownership of newspapers and television and radio stations Before the vote, lawmakers led by Sens Those rules already have been placed on hold by a federal appeals court Sen " "This action would invalidate both good and bad," McCain said In 2001, the Republican-controlle d Congress and White House used it to repeal workplace safety regulations issued during the Clinton administration In June, the Republican-dominated FCC voted 3-2 along party lines to ease decades-old ownership restrictions Patty Murray, D-Wash 4 â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: FCC: http://www Several other legal challenges to the rules from broadcasters and consumer groups are pending , and Trent Lott, R-Miss , opposed the resolution as too broad and said its prospects of succeeding are "minimal at best He has said he supports more specific legislation that restores limits on national TV station ownership Opponents have chosen an unusual legislative path to try to overturn the rules Opponents of the media ownership changes initially appeared to have little chance of stopping the rules, but their efforts have steadily gained momentum Major media companies said the changes were needed because the old regulations hindered their ability to grow and compete in a market altered by cable television, satellite broadcasting and the Internet "We have to ensure that the marketplace of ideas is not dominated by a few conglomerates at the expense of our citizens and our democracy," Sen The Senate Appropriations Committee approved a similar measure on Sept John McCain, R-Ariz To succeed, the resolution â€â€? called a "congressional veto" â€â€? needs majority approval in the Senate and House as well as President Bush's signature 3, a federal appeals court in Philadelphia temporarily blocked the rules from taking effect the following day as scheduled Republicans who support the new rules hope that threat will help them strip the provision from a final House-Senate compromise bill A congressional veto has been used successfully only once before Senate Votes to Block New Media Rules Sep 16, 11:00 AM EST The Senate approved a resolution Tuesday to repeal media ownership rules critics say could lead to a wave of mergers and ultimately stifle diversity and local viewpoints in news and entertainment The House dealt the FCC a surprising setback in July when it passed a broad spending bill that included a provision to block the commission from allowing individual companies to own TV stations reaching up to 45 percent of the nation's viewers, instead of the current 35 percent fcc gov But lawmakers from both parties and a broad range of groups criticized the changes, saying the FCC regulations gave large media companies too much control over what people see, hear and read Before the House vote, the White House also threatened to veto any final bill containing language that would roll back the national cap Kay Bailey Hutchinson, R-Texas, said "We should overturn this rule and ask the FCC to go back to the drawing board Sen , urged their colleagues to support the measure to undo all the FCC changes |
