RIAA Discovers Internet2 : Thu, 14 Apr 2005

400 users using a new experimental project that creates amazingly fast data transfers called "Internet2" will be sued by the RIAA.
The Register has this report on it.
"We cannot let this high-speed network become a zone of lawlessness where the normal rules don't apply," said Cary Sherman, RIAA president."

Of course - let's try to shutdown all new technology that someone could use to break the law.
In fact, I bet the police will quickly stop car makers from making fast cars, since they could be used for speeding. We'll also soon see the FBI stop people from making computers, lest they be used for hacking. And I'm afraid I'll have to stop writing this post, lest it be used for sarcasm and free speech.
