RIAA Loses battle against Mother of 13 year old file sharer

A judge has made it impossible for the RIAA to sue the Mother of a 13 year old file sharer, saying that the mother cannot be held liable for what her daughter shares. Finally some justice for all the people the RIAA has bullied into settling.

MissingKatrina.com & SafeKatrina.com

From Kevin Rose:

"I just got off the phone with Chris of TextAmerica.com - they have setup two new moblogs everyone should know about:

MissingKatrina.com - If you're missing a friend or family member upload their picture to this site. TextAmerica is working with local shelters to hopefully connect you with your loved ones.

SafeKatrina.com - Pictures of Katrina survivors that have yet to connect with their family members. According to Chris over 400 images coming soon (without working cell phone service pictures have to be transported to areas with Internet connectivity).

Please take a few minutes and blog/link to these sites.

Thanks,

--Kevin"
