In 2007, Tanya Andersen was exonerated in a lawsuit brought against her by the RIAA. The child labor-exploiting, baby-eating, SUV-driving music industry argued that the defendant had downloaded gangster rap over Kazaa, a P2P file-sharing application. She countersued in the same year, claiming that the RIAA had attempted to prosecute her maliciously. Unfortunately for Ms. Andersen (and millions of internet...

The definition of insanity, the saying goes, is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. For the past decade, the entertainment industry has sued one site or service after another that was used for unauthorized file sharing at some time.

Over the last decade there have been plenty of internet entrepreneurs and thinkers who have been recognised for the subtle - and not so subtle - impact they have made on the way the world operates. Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google, web creator Tim Berners-Lee and even Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, for example, can all claim some sort of influence on the way we think about the 21st century.
