Individual music corporations like Geffen Records are also taking an aggressive stance. So far, I seem to be safe. The RIAA and Geffen just might have bigger fish to fry. Even now, the recording industry loses far more money to pirates engaged in the wholesale bootlegging of actual CDs than it does to a few thousand MP3 traders on the Net. My own experience demonstrates how easy it is to employ the Net to violate copyright.
Music is now software, and the Internet is the new middleman on the block.
