“No surprise here, but apparently the MPAA has learned absolutely nothing from the RIAA. After quite a bit of talk, the MPAA has decided to sue about 200 people for offering movies on file sharing networks. I’m sure it will work out just as well as in the recording industry, where file sharing is up these days and shows no sign of slowing down.” – Techdirt.
The TeleRead take: E-bookers could learn from the mistakes of both the RIAA and the MPAA. In terms of negative PR risks, e-book-related suits could be worse than for products associated purely with entertainment. How long until the first suit is filed for P2P sharing of a classic novel still under copyright?
