p2p news / p2pnet: By way of a reminder, the first annual p2p litigation summit is nigh.

In September, 2003, the Recording Association of America filed the first wave of lawsuits against individual p2p file sharers, says the registration site, going on:

"Two years and 14,000 lawsuits later, both P2P file-sharing and file-sharing litigation continue unabated, and members of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) are now suing individual and Internet users as well. It’s time to step back and consider where this litigation has been, where it’s going, and whether there is a better way.

"This one-day conference will cover these salient legal issues. This First Annual P2P Litigation Summit brings together public and private defense attorneys, clients, investigators, advocates and academics for their views on the latest developments in peer-to-peer litigation through panel discussions and presentations."

Slated for November 3, the one-day conference will be at the Chicago Northwestern University Law School and will cost $150.

Ray Beckerman, representing Patricia Santangelo, will be writing a report for p2pnet, as will John Hermann, who defended Candy Chan, and the University of Ottawa’s Alex Cameron.

Definitely stay tuned.
