Overview: Recent headlines have brought the use of music on the Internet to the forefront, particularly the 261 copyright infringement lawsuits filed by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) against some of the most active fans sharing songs on services like Kazaa. RIAA's lawsuits are for downloading music illegally over the Internet. The rationale is "downloading songs is stealing money from the pockets of artists" because there are no royalties issued for the distribution of their recordings over the so-called peer-to-peer file-sharing networks.
