The Recording Industry Association of America has launched legal action against four college students who build and maintain general-purpose file-sharing technologies on campus. The RIAA's press release is full of nasty name-calling, but fails to explain how any of this harassment of college kids will do anyone any good -- presumably, the kids have no assets to sue for; shutting down campus networks won't pay artists, nor will it make more work available to the public (and it won't make the lameass Pressplay networks any better).

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
