| Why open source needs the RIAA to lose |
|---|
The lawsuits represent a concerted attempt to rewrite copyright law in a way that threatens to undermine the ultimate goals of the free software movement. The RIAA's legal theories are also being used to justify the use of DRM and other measures to monitor and control the flow of information over the internet. If left unopposed, these lawsuits could create a culture in which people become afraid to share, presuming sharing to be theft.
