Internet piracy is illegally when they sale stuff on the Internet. I believe the music industry will be able to stop piracy with the help of the Recording Industry Association of America, as on their side they have a real chance of stopping piracy on the Internet. Member companies of the Recording Industry Association of America have filed thousands of civil law suits on people who illegally distributed copy righted music on peer-to-peer networks. With these law suits issued by Recording Industry Associated of America, they wanted to send a strong message that the illegal distribution of copy righted has consequences. President of Recording Industry Association of America said "Nobody likes playing the heavy and having to resort to litigation." said RIAA president Carry Sherman. "But when your product is being regularly stolen, there comes a time when you have to take appropriate action. We simply cannot allow online piracy to continue destroying the livelihoods of artist, musicians, song writers, retailers, and everyone in the music industry" (Tomasino, 188). Recording Industry Association of America has been advising the public that file sharing copy righted music is illegal, and when you are doing it you're not anonymous and by doing it you can have real consequences. Cary Sherman says "And the message id beginning to be heard. More and more PsP users are realizing that there are dozens of legal ways to get music online, and they are beginning to migrate to legitimate services. We hope to encourage even the worst offenders to change their behavior, and acquire the music they want through legal means" (Tomasino, 189). Recording Industry Associated of America and the other University community have came together to combat piracy. Colleges all over the country are issuing severe warnings to try to stop the swapping of pirated music over the campus internet. Some individuals decided to over look the warning and continue doing what they were doing. The Recording Industry Association of America wants these kinds of people to know that we are serious about protecting our rights. In so many words they are going to pay a high price for breaking the law, as they have been warned over and over about the law. They need to take these warnings serious, because Recording Industry Association of America is serious when they say they will take over action and did them ever. The Recording Industry Association of America member companies files copy right infringement claims against 261 individual file sharers. Then the Recording Industry Association of America would also be gathering evidence, so they could bring law suits against computer users who illegally distribute copy righted music through such peer to peer file distribution networks. The lawsuits that the Recording Industry Association of America planned to have a number of illegal shares highly concerned about what they did and now want to know what they could do so they won't be sued. So the Recording Industry Association of America has decided not to pursue users who step forward before being targeted for the past illegal sharing of copy righted works. We can see that we truly need to believe the music industry will stop privacy.
