File-Sharer Insurance? Huh?
Found this press release
in my mailbox. Vague info about a P2P-based music subscription
service with a licensed catalog comparable to Napster, Yahoo!, et al.
This caught my eye: “The music subscription service includes copyright
infringement
insurance. The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) may
continue to target non-subscribing P2P users with lawsuits, and
inadvertently sue RazorPop’s paying customers. The insurance will be
capped at $5,000 per subscriber, which is above typical RIAA settlement
amounts to date.”
Huh? I’m in the midst of finals right now, but if anyone cares to do some research on this, do fill me in.
Update: Ernest is, of course, on the case.
