<h2><font color=red>A Third Attack on RIAA Site
</font></h2>
The web site of the Record Industry Association of America (RIAA) was hit for a third time by crackers who once again rewrote the content on the music lobby's site.
The first was a DdOS attack that brought the entire system down for a couple of days. The second, like the present attack, rewrote content on the site, seeming a protest against the stand the organization and the industry it represents has taken to control Net music.

RIAA to sue music sharers? Not Anymore
With the legal file sharing service kazaa still online, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) today announced that it intends to offer the latest albums for download from riaa.org.
As you are probably aware, the RIAA has been pursuing a policy of preventing this activity in recent months.
We have recently become aware that this approach is yielding only limited results and in some cases may in fact be harming sales and the artists' revenue stream.
The RIAA wishes to apologise for the heavy-handed manner in which the popular chinese site Listen4Ever was closed down, and would like to present the following items for free download as a token of its goodwill. Of course the list is relatively small, but please

Of course the list is relatively small, but please be patient - we expect to offer over 300 next week. We also intend to offer pre-released movies in the coming months.
If what you want isn't on the list, then please try Kazaa Lite - available here.</font>
Tell me again, why does the music industry wants the Berman bill to pass so they can legally do what has has been victimizing them for the last 30 days?
