Judge slams RIAA – rules for students
America is reeling following a extremely important decision by a judge in New Mexico,
In a righteous and courageous move by the judge she upheld the rights of people being
Manipulated by Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG’s RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America).
The RIAA were attempting on using unproven copyright infringements to force unassuming individuals to purchase digital downloads, this radical move by the RIAA
was attempting to target colleges and students across America.
The new move had threatened schools across America, computer administrators were placed under tremendous pressure to force there students to abide by these new copyright
Laws.
US magistrate judge Lorenzo F. Garcia managed to look past this feeble attempt by the RIAA to force all universities in the state to place students identities in their hands.
In this radical procedure presented by the RIAA students must admit partaking in file sharing and hand over information with regard to their person, this put all students
Under severe pressure and it could lead to prosecution in the future.
Garcia is renowned for being a top class lawyer was chosen by the State Bar of New Mexico to be the state’s “outstanding lawyerâ€, her skill was used to aid victims of
Brutal and violent crime in the state.
Garcia ruled in the case put forward by the RIAA that universities in the state need not hand out the identities of any students. A slap on the back for the recording industry although perhaps deserved.
It is quite clear that Magistrate Judge Lorenzo F. Garcia has portrayed clear and precise judgment against this ludicrous attempt by the RIAA and has provided the entire country an example of how an individuals human rights and personal privacy must at all times be kept.
It’s nice to see the judicial system act sensibly for a change.
