The demo scene archive, ftp.amigascne.org was erroneously accused of offering illegal copies of mp3's by the RIAA.
RIAA performed a scan of ftp.amigascne.org, then proceeded to send a threat letter claiming that they had "found 0 sound files" and that these files should be removed before the DMCA is invoked for legal action.
The full story is currently being covered by C|Net's News.com, see this link.

Posted by Some Farker on 14-May-2003 09:46 GMT | I'm gonna put a bunch of text files (just empty notepad files) on my web-page but give them the names of MP3s just to trigger those idiot's search engine, just so I can have my very own corporate fascist threat letter. |
