RIAA fears net neutrality

// January 15th, 2010 // p2p

- | RIAA:- Vivendi Universal (France), Sony (Japan), EMI (Britain), and Warner Music (US) believe they have a special case when it comes to net neutrality. While they once again deal with charges of price fixing, their US extortion unit, the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), “wants to make sure that when regulations on Net neutrality are adopted, they don’t impede antipiracy efforts,” says CNet News , going on: “That’s why the Recording Industry Association of America on Thursday asked the Federal Communications Commission to ‘adopt flexible rules’ that free Internet service providers to fight copyright theft. “This week is the deadline for submitting comments to the FCC as it considers proposed regulations for Net neutrality, the term coined by those who want the Web to be open to all forms of content, Web sites, and platforms and also want to prevent ISPs from charging users higher rates to access different sites or content.” As p2pnet pointed out yesterday, the RIAA was used to launch the Three Strikes element of the entertainment cartel ACTA scheme in the US. When it was announced, according to the RIAA, American ISPs were hot to trot as Big 4 copyright enforcers against their own customers. However, the providers didn’t see it quite like that and instead of being the spearhead for the Three Strike and your Off The Net campaign, the US waits in the wings while all the running — lurching, might be a better word — is done in Europe.
