While Aurous could prove to be the shortest chapter in the weighty tome documenting the record industry's fight against online piracy, it will still be a pretty eventful section of the story.
As previously reported, the Recording Industry Association Of America forced the maker of Aurous – a streaming app that pulls in and plays music content from various sources online, though mainly unlicensed sources to date – to stop distributing his player almost as soon as the alpha version of it was put live. The RIAA secured a temporary injunction against Aurous and its developer Andrew Sampson after accusing the new app of existing to encourage and enable copyright infringement.
