Copyright and MP3 issues

Hello all :

I read this list very often but, since I am in faraway Brazil, I tend to participate much less than other readers.

Does anyone know a good source of information about copyright issues arising from the illegal copying of music through the mp3 format ?? or about the use of digital watermarks against possible copying of coptrighted materials?

I have heard not only of one case about mp3, such as RIAA V. Diamond, but also about record companies which sent many cease and desist letters to website owners which carries illegal mp3 files. Many sites are supposedly being shut down.

I am having difficulties in finding other sources of legal info through the web, specially legal articles which deal with this matter directly, or give weight to this issue.

All help, or links, will be highly appreciated

Best regards
