As part of a criminal investigation, the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), filed a lawsuit in a California Court to obtain personal information from a user on YouTube, so it can reach the person who shot in full and in high quality a show that Britney Spears made the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, with the Femme Fatale Tour.
Although it is a routine for the RIAA take down YouTube videos due to copyright infringement, this is the first time that the association opened a case against the video site for this purpose. The vice president of the RIAA in the documents required to be disclosed any data that YouTube has about the user in question, such as IP address, e-mail, among others.
The RIAA, which sued since 2003, 35 000 people who share music illegally over the web, decided to stop directing users to the lawsuits in 2008. Anyway, it reserved the right to sue individual users to disclose material if that were not released.
