RIAA Bans Telling Friends About Songs
November 30, 2005 | Issue 41?48

LOS ANGELES?The Recording Industry Association of America
announced Tuesday that it will be taking legal action against
anyone discovered telling friends, acquaintances, or associates
about new songs, artists, or albums. "We are merely exercising
our right to defend our intellectual properties from unauthorized
peer-to-peer notification of the existence of copyrighted
material," a press release signed by RIAA anti-piracy director
Brad Buckles read. "We will aggressively prosecute those
individuals who attempt to pirate our property by generating
'buzz' about any proprietary music, movies, or software, or enjoy
same in the company of anyone other than themselves." RIAA
attorneys said they were also looking into the legality of word-
of-mouth "favorites-sharing" sites, such as coffee shops,
universities, and living rooms.
