« Google and Microsoft spat over �gOpen Source�h | Main | UK shares end year on high » January 01, 2005BitTorrent to take on RIAA?BitTorrent distributor LokiTorrent, one of several currently targeted for legal action by the Motion Picture Association of America, has called upon users to develop a legal fund to fight the action. The MPAA and Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) have already suffered set backs, not only in the lower courts of the US, but also in overseas actions where courts have ruled file-swapping networks are not legally responsible for the copyright violations of its users. However, it will be interesting to see whether file-swappers actually rally around Lokitorrent for a major showdown with the MPAA - or whether they will simply drift on. So far, LokiTorrent claims to have raised over $20,000. It has to be asked, though - why not spent that in the shops, rather than courts?
