I didn't like the original title. Most people don't know that RIAA means this concerns music in the US. It's true they can get that info from the article, but the title should give them the "gist" of the article without them having to read it. StuRat 01:10, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- I don't like the current title -- the article isn't just about "Hundreds of lawsuits", it's abount "Hundreds more lawsuits". It's more like "Thousands of lawsuits"; additionally it's about the RIAA expanding its hunt into the Internet2 network. The current title fails to sumarize the article. As you say, "the title should give them the "gist" of the article", and it does not. 07:46, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
- I believe it is better than the original title, which didn't mention music or the US; but, if you can improve it, please do. StuRat 12:01, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
- You're probably right, but I haven't learned how to edit headlines yet (Maybe I have to register first). Sorry if I sounded too critical. Karen 10:41, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
- Ah, the alphabet mafia strikes again. I personally can't wait to see the recording industry bury itself with crap like this. A question regarding the neutrality of this article though. I don't understand the point of mentioning the Internet2/i2hub is mainly used for research purposes. This seems to be implying that the RIAA had no basis for filing suit, which is not the case if they were using campus networks for sharing copywrited material. I think that section should be rewritten, any thoughts? --Wolfrider 21:42, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- If you want to, you are of course welcome to rewrite it. I was aiming more to say that the Internet2 was created for research purposes, and the students using it for file sharing are abusing it. Therfor the RIAA has at least some moral justification for suing them. --Cspurrier 21:50, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- Okay, I see where you were coming from now. I was just reading it incorrectly. Thanks. :-) --Wolfrider 22:47, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
