Report: The RIAA finally backs down on suing people for pirating music!!!

After 5 years of suing thousands of people for illegally sharing and downloading music from the internet, the RIAA has finally backed down. The RIAA will instead work with the ISP’s, to contact and identify users who continue to trade copyrighted music. The RIAA grew a change of heart and dropped all new lawsuits after working with Andrew Cuomo, New York’s attorney general.

Rollingstone reports:

While this is great news, I still don’t trust these assholes. Once the economy improves, they’ll be on a suing frenzy again. They should have thought about the ISP thing 5 years ago.
