Music Traders To Receive Cease-And-Desist Warnings
from the next-steps dept
No surprise here, but the RIAA has announced that they plan to send cease-and-desist letters to the names they received in the Verizon case, telling them to stop file sharing or face the legal consequences. I'd be surprised if any are still actively file trading (or doing so in a way that makes them likely to get caught) since Verizon let them know their names were being passed on to the RIAA - so they had to expect this.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Time to Switch
Time to find a new provider.
Preferably one who uses an alternative NATing gateway that blocks access to commonly abused ports but keeps random highports open.
