The RIAA files more lawsuits.. On Friday, the RIAA filed 532 more lawsuits in Manhattan and Washington, D.C., against internet users for allegedly downloading illegal music files from file-sharing networks such as KaZaa and AudioSatellite. These new legal filings are even more than double than the 261 lawsuits that were filed last summer.

In a statement RIAA chairman and CEO Mitch Bainwol said, "The debate isn't digital versus plastic, it isn't old versus new. Here's what it is: legitimate versus illegitimate. It's iTunes and the new Napster and Wal-Mart, Amazon, Dell, Real, Microsoft and others versus Kazaa, Imesh and Grokster. It's whether or not digital music will be enjoyed in a fashion that supports the creative process or one that robs it of its future."

To further emphasize the battle between downloaders and record labels, you might want to describe some specific court cases that involve your topic. You should discuss the specific details in the Napster case rather than just informing the reader about its existence. I was very impressed with your blog. However, you seem very biased to the views of the downloader. In your blogs you should argue both sides of the issue, both downloader and the recording industry. I know you are a very keen downloader and an expert in computers but it is always good to be empathetic and see things from another perspective. Another thing you should try and do is to lengthen your blogs and make them more thorough. Although, you get the basic points down in your blogs, in some cases it seems like I need to know more about the article in order to grasp the ideas you are trying to express. Overall I am very happy with the progress of your blogs and I look forward to reading more!
