So it’s the old story – college student sued for file sharing, imminent damage award of several million dollars, all according to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, a law written by the RIAA.

Here’s a general overview of the recording industry’s nuclear strike. By me (no expert), the defense’s argument seems a bit weaker than it needs to be.

Other commentators weigh in, despondently. With the Jammie Thomas defeat as a precedent, this boy could be facing the zillion-dollars-in-damages outcome.

And Recording Industry vs. The People addresses the basic issues that are not being addressed.
