RIAA Gets $1 Million From Company That Let Employees Share Music

from the say-what? dept

Maybe I'm missing something here. The RIAA has settled the lawsuit they had against consulting firm Integrated Information Systems for $1 million. They said that IIS was allowing its employees to share MP3s over the internal corporate network. I'm not sure I see what IIS did that was illegal. If the employees did something illegal, then the RIAA should go after the employees. All the company did was have a network which its employees used. This ignores the fact, of course, that I still think the music industry should learn to encourage music sharing since it gets more people interested in their music.
