As we’ve heard in the past, the RIAA is supposedly dropping it’s attacks against individual pirates and going after groups.  It’s fairly evident that it’s recent crack down on groups is alarming to members who provide an abundant amount of illegally shared music.

Indicted Wednesday were Adil R. Cassim, 29, of Granada Hills, California; Bennie Glover, 35, of Shelby, North Carolina; Matthew D. Chow, 28, of Missouri City, Texas; and Edward L. Mohan II, 46, of Baltimore. They were charged with being high-level members of the music sharing group called Rapid Neurosis, or RNS, which operated from 1999 to 2007, the DOJ said.

The defendants, led by Cassim for some time, allegedly conspired to illegally upload thousands of copyright-protected music files to RNS, the DOJ said. Many of those files were then reproduced and distributed hundreds of thousands of times, the agency said in a news release.

What this means for the people indicted is a possible maximum sentence of up to 5 years and prison and a $250,000 copyright fine, and three years of supervised vision.  Incredibly harsh punishment for the crime done.  Either way, it’s really worth sending this out to all music fans, because the threat is apparent, if your doing something illegal with music, you have the possibility to still get caught.

Michael Jackson, Buried.

Posted in Music Stories on September 4th, 2009 by admin – Be the first to comment

Yesterday Michael Jackson was finally laid to rest, 74 days after his initial death.  His family and closest friends paid tribute during a service just outside Long Angeles, with invited guests such as Dame Elizabeth Taylor, actor Macaulay Culkin and music producer Quincy Jones.

While it’s unclear at this moment as to where Jackson is buried, it is known that he’s buried among some of the biggest stars in history at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.  Forest Lawn Memorial Park houses a various arrangements of stars including Clark Gable, Sammy Davis, and Jean Harlow.

Also, it’s very unclear as to where these stars are buried due to the cemetery’s strict privacy guidelines, as most cemeteries provide maps to the starts grave, this one does not.  Either way, it seems to be the time has finally come to close the book on one of the most famous pop musicians of all time.
