Hilary Rosen spins the file sharing decision

Rosen: "We are pleased with the Court's affirmation that individual users are accountable for illegally uploading and downloading copyrighted works off of publicly accessible peer-to-peer networks. This is precisely the issue we have been seeking to focus the public's attention on, and yesterday's decision in the Verizon matter makes clear that individual infringers cannot expect to remain anonymous when they engage in this illegal activity." [RIAA] She also indicated that the cartel will immediately appeal to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
