South Carolina resident Shahanda Moelle Moursy brought a legal action against the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), two companies that worked for her Safenet, MediaSentry and a few major record labels, said p2pnet. A little earlier RIAA had refused to co-work with MediaSentry because of many customer complaints. Right now Shahanda wants to get financial compensation that is going to be ordered by the court. Her lawyers believe that defendants are making out a lawless business, particularly by organising illegal investigations. In other words, mentioned above companies cannot completely prove the IP-addresses of those who are later convicted of illegal music downloading process. Moreover, Shahandas claim says that often these companies are using such cruel methods to get more information about users (by pressuring local Internet providers). In their opinion the result of such investigations ends up in the closing of cases against ‘illegal downloaders’ in order to settle things peacefully by paying ‘fines’ without taking it to court. They also think that usually RIAA’s “victims” belong to those who don’t really know how to use a computer, cannot fully understand what is the downloading process and how it works.
Definitely all kinds and sorts of record companies are trying to stop the “downloading process”, hence its their major enemy out there. It started with Napster back in 2000 and keeps on continuing with millions of other computer programs and firms that enable people to download.
