RIAA announced today a press release by its CEO, Hilary Rosen.

"The claims in the lawsuit are ridiculous. This is a transparent attempt on the part of MP3.com to silence criticism of its infringing tactics. It won’t work. Our record is clear in distinguishing legitimate uses of MP3 technology from piracy. The lawsuit against MP3.com has nothing to do with MP3 technology. It has to do with MP3.com, the company, taking music they don’t own and haven’t licensed to offer new services to make money for themselves. And there is nothing illegal in my saying so."
