Computerworld - Peer-to-peer software maker LimeWire's willingness to pay a whopping $105 million to settle music piracy claims marks a decisive, if somewhat symbolic, victory for the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

.

The proposed settlement will bring to an end another successful campaign by the music industry to stop those it contends are enabling widespread music piracy.

.

In recent years, the recording industry has paid what some say are enormous legal costs to fight similar battles against Napster, Grokster, Kazaa and Streamcast.

.

Despite the successful suits, industry experts wonder whether the effort has succeeded in slowing down online music piracy.

RIAA has now successfully managed to force settlements from the major file-sharing services, he said.

.

"But I don't think it has slowed piracy down an iota," Johnson said. With the closure of LimeWire and other major P2P networks, users have just moved to different sources for illegal music downloads, he said.

"The RIAA has put their hands around the necks," of every entity they could, Johnson said. But many of the remaining ones are in the open source realm and are going to be harder to go after.

.

"There's been a steady stream of closure signs pounded on the walls of Web sites" over the past few years, he said. But every time that has happened users have simply migrated elsewhere, he said.
