The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York in Albany, N.Y., seeks a declaratory judgment that the company is not infringing on copyrights. The law firm, headed by top lawyer David Boies, is also representing song-swap company Napster in its landmark copyright case. It claimed it was a haven for piracy that would cost the industry billions of dollars in lost sales. Shortly after an appeals court ruling in February that paved the way for an injunction against Napster, the RIAA began sending out dozens of legal notices to Internet Service Providers providing connections for Napster clones, warning them these users were in violation of copyright laws. Deep argues that any attempt to monitor the file-swapping activities of Aimster's members would itself be a violation of federal copyright law and users' privacy since it has encrypted transmissions on its network.
