New case filed in Nebraska on March 4, 2009, UMG Recordings v. Adams

A new RIAA case was filed in Omaha, Nebraska, on March 4, 2009, UMG Recordings v. Adams.

Apparently the reports of the RIAA having ceased bringing new lawsuits were "exaggerated".

In November 2007, Edgar Bronfman (CEO of Warner Music) addressed the GSMA Mobile Asia Congress. In his speech, he described the recording industry's response to social and technological change as inadvertently going to war with his customers.

If the RIAA can "inadvertently" file a large number of lawsuits, surely they can "inadvertently" file a single one too?
