To be a file-swapper you have to upload and/or download files.

Not according to the RIAA, which recently argued (unsuccessfully, fortunately) that simply making a file available was an act of copyright infringement, even if no download had actually occurred.

In the current litigation involving MP3tunes, they're even arguing that simply linking to freely available files on their own sites is copyright infringement.

Is it really the case that a company that hires only 4300 people is the *second* largest corporate employer in Ireland? That 1900 people losing their jobs is a "severe blow" to the economy of an entire country? The population of Ireland is somewhere around 6 million - what does every *else* do there?
