Old news but, on the way to work this morning National Public Radio announced that a company in Arizona called "Integrated Information Systems Inc.", had a dedicated MP3 server permitting employees to access and distribute thousands of music files over the company network. Because of this, the RIAA filed suit against them and they agreed to pay the Recording Industry Association of America $1 million rather than go to court.

Fucking RIAA...

When I worked at OWOL (a dot.com) we had THREE MP3 servers with around 60 gigs of MP3's online. 90% of it was CD's that we ourselves brought in and burned onto the Network so we could listen to music all day while programming. Even where I work I have around 6-7 gigs worth of my favorite music burned to MP3 so I can listen to it without shuffling CD's around. I also have it shared so others can listen in. What chances am I taking with the RIAA police that my company may be sued? If I have a CD shared on my network, can the RIAA police sue my company?

If any of you have a company MP3 server, I would suggest being EXTREAMLY careful right now. The GREEDY FUCKING RIAA is on the lookout for anyone and everyone.
