Illegal Movie Downloaders being Targeted

Ok, I am now officially hooked on the NPR show, On The Media. This week had, yet again, a story that referenced one of our lecture topics made it's way onto the show.
This week they discussed how law firms are now targeting individuals who download illegal movies and information via BitTorrent Clients.

The idea made in this story was that law firms are actually using this to create revenue, as opposed to the original reason for these lawsuits, which was education.

Give it a listen, hopefully the transcript will be posted soon!
