RIAA SUED OVER 'AMNESTY PROGRAM'
The RIAA has been sued in California by a man claiming that its
recently-announced amnesty program is misleading. Under its
"clean-slate" program, the RIAA said it will not prosecute
file-sharers for their past actions if they make a written statement
pledging not to trade music over the Internet anymore. The complaint
says the amnesty program does not protect participants from litigation
by other groups. Suit at
