"With the legal file sharing service kazaa still online, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) today announced that it intends to offer the latest albums for download from riaa.org. The RIAA wishes to apologise for the heavy-handed manner in which the popular chinese site Listen4Ever was closed down, and would like to present the following items for free download as a token of its goodwill. Of course the list is relatively small, but please be patient - we expect to offer over 300 next week. We also intend to offer pre-released movies in the coming months."

RIAA site defaced again - now, it is host to an entire Linkin Park album in MP3 format, and the links even work. Interesting enough, this "press release" is up for several days now - some argue it might be a honeynet-style of trap set up by RIAA itself: download now and get sued later. With at least on major typo in the release text, we believe it to be hack though. Due to popular demand, RIAA website is de facto unavailable most of the time now.
