Record industry releases malware that deletes your P2P software

September 22nd, 2005 Posted in General |

From BoingBoing.net:

IFPI — the international equivalent of the RIAA — has released a piece of software that will delete your P2P software, strongly implying that P2P is itself illegal and using ridiculous, non-legal terms like “copyright theft” (umm, you keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means). So much for 17,000,000 freely shareable CC-licensed works, so much for the public domain, so much for everything except for content from giant publishing orgs.
