U.S. lawyers have stepped up the legal pressure against Sony-BMG Entertainment in connection with its controversial use of spyware-based Digital Rights Management software on music CDs.
The latest development in the saga saw a lawsuit filed yesterday by legal firm Finkelstein, Thompson & Loughran for a resident of the District of Columbia on behalf of the general public of the capital.
The lawsuit was filed in the District of Columbia Superior Court under a provision in the District of Columbia's Consumer Protection and Procedures Act that allows a resident to act as a "private attorney general" and to seek relief on behalf of the general public.
