Breaking news - CNN.com says :-Recording industry files 261 lawsuits against Internet music file sharers, announces amnesty program for individuals. Details soon. For the past week , there was news circling around sites (Vnunet.com and neowin) that RIAA was considering amnesty for file sharers . There were no details of how RIAA would impose amnesty and watch the amnesty seekers for any file sharing activity (which i think is absoultly imposibble) after they have signed it. Update:- CNN.com has updated news regarding the RIAA lawsuit hereand regarding the amesty details has also pointed to Musicunited.com (which redirects to riaa.com.... strange) .
