Music Industry Warns File Swappers Via IM
 

Expanding its battle against online piracy, the recording industry is using the instant messaging feature in file-swapping software to tell users that sharing copyright protected music is illegal. Recording industry groups, including the Recording Industry Association of America Inc. (RIAA), the American Federation of Musicians and the Christian Music Trade Association, started sending long messages headlined "COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT WARNING" on Tuesday, according to an RIAA statement. In the message, file sharers are told they are not anonymous, that they risk "legal penalties" and their actions hurt songwriters, musicians and all music industry employees

hahahhahaa...
