EFF: Prelude to a Fake Complaint
Topic: Miscellaneous 7:01 pm EDT, Jun 24, 2004

] Apple's iPod music player seemed particularly vulnerable
] to attack. Any major record label could bring a strong
] lawsuit against Apple for "intentionally inducing"
] infringement under this new law with the iPod, both
] because it's plausible to argue that having an iPod
] enhances the lure of using P2P to download music (gotta
] fill all that space!) and because all the major record
] labels still believe that private sharing of songs from
] your CDs with friends is copyright infringement. We still
] disagree with the labels on these points, but the reality
] is that no court has yet convinced them that their legal
] theories are flawed. We also threw in Toshiba for making
] the iPod's hard drive and CNET for showing people how to
] move the iPod's music files.
