Chapter VI : Vignette : RIAA Fights Music Piracy

1.) Is the RIAA's strong stand on copyright infringement helping or hurting the recording industry?

Copyright Infringement is a violation of the rights secured by the owner of a copyright. The recording Industry Association of America justifies its strong anti piracy efforts as a means of both protecting the ability of the recording industry to invest new artist and new music,and giving legitimate online music sharing services a chance to be successful. The RIAA's story started on copyright infringement helping the music industry because it justifies anti piracy.

2.)Could an ISP's implementation and enforcement of the RIAA's multitier strategy have an negative impact on the ISP?

No, because ISP's implementation and enforcement of the RIAA's multitier strategy could help RIAA's reputation and it can protect the users of it. And it can notice to its subscribers  or notify its costumers about the notices and ask them to cease and desist. Lastly, ISP  can take a series of escalating sanctions against repeat offenders, ranging from slowing down the network speed to terminating service.
