Hanx, This was mentioned in the RIAA Insanity thread. There's an Italian EFF suit, the one in NY, another in LA, and EFF U.S. is checking interest for a case here. More to follow I'm sure. I'm betting on the EFF cases to make a difference vs. the usual class action settlements for attorney enrichment. (There's gotta be an acronym in there somewhere.)

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
