Bainwol on Frivolous Litigation

In Bill to Curb Online Piracy Is Challenged as Too Broad (NYT, June 24, 2004), RIAA chief exec Mitch Bainwol says that the INDUCE or IICA legislation "was meant to be narrowly tailored to address companies that build technology focused on illegal file sharing. He said he did not envision the legislation's enabling lawsuits against neutral technologies, like computer makers. 'This is not about going after the device makers,' Mr. Bainwol said, though he stopped short of guaranteeing that the recording industry would never use the measure to sue them."
