RIAA Is Accused of Patent Violations
A Woodland Hills company that helps sell music, movies and video games through file-sharing networks sued the Recording Industry Assn. of America and three anti-piracy contractors, accusing them of violating two patents it controls.
In a suit filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, Brilliant Digital Entertainment Inc. and its Altnet subsidiary alleged that the patents had been violated each time record-company contractors flooded the networks with bogus versions of songs. The patents cover technology for identifying files on the networks.
