RIAA Lauds State Criminal Action Against A Peer-To-Peer Hub Operator
Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley announced a guilty plea of conspiracy to commit grant theft in the first criminal Internet file-sharing case brought in California. According to the DA's office, the individual involved ran an Internet file-sharing hub that allowed users to trade large amounts of music, movies, television shows, and games with others. The Recording Industry Association of America issued the following statement from Brad Buckles, Executive Vice President, Anti-Piracy. "With the conviction of a peer-to-peer operator for conspiracy to commit grand theft, California law enforcement officials have taken a strong stand to protect the thousands of artists, songwriters, sound engineers and producers whose work is threatened by the online theft of music. This action sends a clear message that the illegal distribution of music and other content to millions of Internet users around the world is stealing and will be treated as seriously as the theft of physical property. "The online theft of music – whether on rogue file-sharing networks or in piracy distribution groups – directly affects our ability to invest in new bands and new music that fans want to hear. Along with our partners in the music community, many of whom live and work in the Los Angeles area, we applaud the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office and the Southern California High Tech Task Force for their commitment to the enforcement of our intellectual property laws."
