Record Industry Files Copyright Suit Against Aimster
The record industry filed a lawsuit against file-swapping company Aimster, charging that it is violating copyrights in much the same way as Napster or Scour. The RIAA has previously sued file-trading companies Napster and Scour on similar issues, sent a warning letter to Aimster several months ago, noting that the company's activities were similar enough to Napster's that it was likely in violation of the law, see also Slashdot
