What I remember is RIAA would have to sue the end user.
Which would cost WAY too much.

I think the name of the company is Cloud (something)
and Mark Anderson ( the Netscape guy ) is the founder...
It's not the Cloud (something) he founded that's in money trouble now. It's a Diff. company...
They said the same thing about Kazaa, Audiogalaxy, etc. ...

The assumption was that they could not be sued since there was no central server along the lines of what Napster had ... and the only recourse would be to sue the end users ...

Wrong ...

Now Audiogalaxy has shut down and Kazaa can't pay their legal fees after the judge ruled that the industry's case against them did have some merit ...
