--- date: "2003-07-25T09:00:16Z" title: RIAA/MPAA Blowback --- <p><a href='http://www.techfocus.org/'>TechFocus</a> has decided that the <acronym title='Recording Industry Association of America'>RIAA</acronym> and <acronym title='Motion Picture Association'>MPAA</acronym> violated their <acronym title='Terms of Service'>TOS</acronym> and they're also unhappy with the RIAA/MPAA mass <acronym title='Peer to Peer'>P2P</acronym> litigation (courtesy of friend, the <acronym title='Digital Millenium Copyright Act'>DMCA</acronym>). As a result, TechFocus has <a href='http://techfocus.org/comments.php?catid=17&id=3662'>banned the RIAA and MPAA</a>. </p>
