The RIAA says they aren’t targeting small time file traders, despite evidence to the contrary.
Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman, concerned that the RIAA’s tactics were “excessive”, wrote a letter to the RIAA arguing that he didn’t believe that legal penalties for downloading songs fit the crime.
“RIAA is in no way targeting ‘de minimis’ users,” wrote RIAA president Cary Sherman in response. “RIAA is gathering evidence and preparing lawsuits only against individual computer users who are illegally distributing a substantial amount of copyrighted music.”
