Police have arrested the operator of Mulve. Mulve is an app designed to help users download music, via a 10-million-strong database. According to the linked article, the smackdown largely came courtesy of the RIAA.

The thing is, Mulve was just a search engine, albeit one for a very specific purpose. If we get to the point where enabling access to naughty downloads makes operators liable, that’s a pretty worrying prospect—and you can bet the likes of Google and Bing (often the easiest, fastest way to source such download) won’t ever be affected.

The moral of the story appears to be: don’t specialise, stupid, or become so big that the RIAA won’t risk attacking you.
