FreeNet vs. RIAA

Declan runs an email conversation between Freenet's Ian Clarke and the RIAA's senior vice president of business and legal affairs. I only wish there'd been more back and forth on Declan's excxellent questions. (Thanks to Jeff Chapman for the link.)

I am not as positive about the article I think Declan had a great opportunity to push on the point the RIAA doesn't represent authors and creators and blew it, IMHO.

Then again I suppose he does have to get them to return his calls in the future, but he could have ushed the point more.
