Andrew Dubber has published an e-mail exchange between himself and a member of the IFPI and BPI, similar to the US RIAA. Dubber had posted a link to a report on someone countersuing the RIAA. Paul Birch of Revolver Records responded, effectively claiming it was inappropriate to link to anything critical of the RIAA because Dubber works for a government-funded university. Huh? He then threatened to make an official complaint to Dubber’s employers. At least Dubber can rest easy, knowing it stands about as much chance of success as making your customers love you by suing them does.
