Radiohead to Testify Against the RIAA
,----[ Quote ]
| Radiohead, the band that made millions of dollars by giving away their music
| for free, has very little to complain about when it comes to piracy. On the
| contrary, in a landmark file-sharing case, Radiohead has responded positively
| to a request to testify against the RIAA.

“Limited and Temporary?”
,----[ Quote ]
| Thanks to the magic of the class action mechanism, the settlement will confer
| on Google a kind of legal immunity that cannot be obtained at any price
| through a purely private negotiation. It confers on Google immunity not only
| against suits brought by the actual members of the organizations that sued
| Google, but also against suits brought by anyone who doesn’t explicitly opt
| out. That means that Google will be free to mine the vast body of orphan
| works without fear of liability.
