I checked out his bio and was amused to find that no mention was made about his being the first to take down mp3 sites. He even joined in on Dimension Music's message board, defending his actions of behalf of Geffen. Hilary and the RIAA showed up at that time, too and then it was on. I corresponded with Griffin for awhile, actually became friendly with him after a terrible start. Even though he is the one responsible for putting bots on IRC, taking down FTP's and all, he wasn't a bad guy as a person. During that time there was an Internet band from Berkeley called God Ate My Homework, very popular, who had a song called, "I Saw Jim Griffin on IRC." Thanks for the JG update.
