- The title Music Piracy: A New Tune is engaging..because it has a "catchy" title, it makes you want to find out what the article is about.
- Litigation = the process of taking legal action.
- Start-Ups = the action or process of setting something in motion.
- What kind of things (lawsuits) did the RIAA do? What are they doing now?
- Why was it such a struggle for the major labels to keep piracy under control? Why were there always new things to have to figure out?
- Individual File-Sharers = Sharing files in a network, even if in a small local area network. File sharing allows a number of people to use the same file or file by some combination of being able to read or view it, write to or modify it, copy it, or print it.
- The investigation was hard because they were having a lot of problems finding the people who were doing it because their accounts dint match up with the actual people who were causing the problems.
- The lawsuits were not helping much, and were just putting the blame on the wring people.
- When they sued the account-holders, they were demanding compensation from anyone...family members, children, whoever! They just wanted their money back.
- Compensation = something, typically money, awarded to someone as a recompense for loss, injury, or suffering.
- IPS = information science: the sciences concerned with gathering, manipulating, storing, retrieving, and classifying recorded information
- Infringe = Actively break the terms of (a law, agreement, etc.)
- Everything was eventually settled and the IRAA is working on a "detector" to find piracy without the threats of "financial ruin".
Who the RIAA Were Suing:
- Start-Ups distributing file-sharing software
- Individual File-Sharers
- Account Holders
