It’s another Friday, and another selection of fine news stories.

RIAA wins landmark music copyright case. The accused must pay $9,250 fine for each song she shared on Kazaa–that’s a total of $220,000! Maybe buying the album is cheaper after all.
Target faces a class action lawsuit for failing to use ALT tags on their web site–making it inaccessible to the blind. (via)
An interesting lawsuit will decide if Virgin Mobile is liable for using a Flickr photo in and ad without permission. (via)

Nice one…I liked the Virgin Mobile one…being a blogger myself i know how bad I feel when people “steal” my content or images without my consent…while using a photo to do something like this is really offensive!! serves them right to sue them!!
