one more thing, just to point out something that you obviously missed,
that was exactly the point the author was trying to make...if you look
at the 'comments' section below the article itself, you will the author
states...
"Yes, it's true that the RIAA accuses Howell of distributing music via a
sharing network. See the actual filings in the case here:
http://recordingindustryvspeople.blogspot.com/2007/01/index-of-litigation-documents.html#Atlantic_v_Howell
But that's not the point I'm making in the column. What's new in the
Howell case is the decision by lawyers for the recording industry to
argue that even a legally-obtained CD may not be transferred to an MP3
file on your computer. That argument can be found here, on page 15:
