Canadian Music Giant Sues RIAA

Wow. Alright!

Andrew Orlowski writes on The Register:

Canada's biggest record label, publisher and management company is suing the Recording Industry Ass. Of America on behalf of a US family targeted by the lobby group for copyright infringement.

The privately-owned Nettwerk Music Group is intervening, it says, because the songs downloaded and identified by the RIAA by the Gruebel family include Avril Lavigne, a Nettwerk management client.

"The current actions of the RIAA are not in my artists' best interests," said Nettwerk chief executive Terry McBride in a prepared statement.
