July 13, 2005 ../ RIAA Launches New Ed CampaignMusic United, a coalition composed of many facets of the recording industry and spearheaded by the Recording Industry Association of America, announced a new advertising campaign aimed at parents. The ads promote legal downloading and how to keep children from participating in the illegal Peer-To-Peer (P2P) networks.The announcement comes on the heels of 784 new lawsuits initiated by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) at the end of June. The "John Doe" suits cite individuals who have posted large music collections on the leading P2P networks for copyright infringement. The suits were filed in California, Colorado, New York, Virginia, Pennsylvania and other US states. The "Feed a Musician, Download Legally" ads will appear on outdoor billboards and in mass transit areas in eleven US cities in the near future.
The Future: The lawsuits
and educational campaigns have had no effect on the amount of people trading music online, no matter what the RIAA claims. The reoccurring suits are now on
autopilot and the educational campaigns are laughable at best. No one cares.
