Overview: Recording and movie industry have begun realizing that the Napster saga may be just the tip of the iceberg. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) may have won its domestic battle against Napster, but as an increasing number of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) providers crop up overseas, it has become apparent that the file-swapping battle has really just begun. Amidst industry efforts to protect their copyrighted interests abroad, courts, both in the United States and in foreign countries, are being asked to answer difficult questions concerning international jurisdiction and enforcement. The paper further explores these issues, particularly with reference to the RIAA’s and Motion Picture Association of America’s legal efforts against Kazaa, a foreign-based P2P provider, in an attempt to assess whether copyright in the digital age can survive beyond our shores.
