We met with Alki David few months ago where he revealed us his plans on going after CBS and CNET. Some of the things we discussed are included in his today's blog post:

"CNET locked down nearly exclusive distribution deals with Limewire, Kazaa Morpheus, Grockster and most of the other notorious P2P clients. CNET published frequent tests with the software against known copyrighted songs. Of course, with Live Links right to the software downloads. All I can guess from this is you think kids and single moms should be the ones sued because they did the downloading? Like that single mom in Texas that appealed a 1.5 million dollar fine for downloading 24 songs. Look it up on Google.

They had articles that even suggested the best methods for ? Breaking Copyright Laws Big-Time? and they offered paid versions of Limewire and others that were ad free. They had deals to get paid for each download.

Why are people so supportive of the worlds largest Media conglomerate that is One of the six MPAA members through Paramount Pictures, yet it is the MPAA too that is suing people for using the software an actual member distributed to them with the instructions to use it."
