Don’t know if you know the confidential RIAAmemo about the FastTracknetwork. It contains some usefull information about the structure and procedures You can find this article at http://www.dotcomscoop.com/riaamemo.html

Thank you for that link. The part I found interesting on the memo:

However, the encryption of this communication precludes further learning absent cooperation from one of these companies or court ordered discovery. In that regard, we recently learned that FastTrack is very interested in exploring alternatives to litigation and its principals are willing to sit down with the record companies to discuss ways of resolving any dispute. FastTrack is willing to sell the company and the technology, or enter into a licensing arrangement. FastTrack is also willing to implement filtering technologies to prevent
infringements.

reminds me of the accusations that there was more to the Sharman acquisition than met the eye. one way to access the encrypted communications...

Edit: in looking for more info at the dotcomscoop site, the author made similar conclusions in this march 5th 2002 article:

also:

Message Boards discuss available music, films, and software.

MusicCity employees participate in message board discussions and CEO acknowledges MusicCity controls message boards.

[should we provide notice by letters and when?]

ooooooops!
