RIAA big fans of Limewire
Who's that on the Limewire network there, then? Could it be the RIAA? An RIAA rep who wanted to remain anonymous for fear of nasty emails (from the music industry or fans, it's not clear) has admitted that the RIAA is busy on Limewire, tracking what's going on.
The rep claims that they don't download tracks, just "check the watermark", but surely they'd have to listen to at least bit of the file to make sure, wouldn't they? And if the RIAA are downloading even a portion of a supposed illegal file, what would the legal position on that actually be?

Uh. The status of that would be that it's perfectly legal. The RIAA is the copyright holder. They're allowed to do with their own copyrighted material as they please. This isn't rocket science, folks. If you own the copyright, it's yours. If you don't, it's not.
