I would love to see another sort of litigation, A class action suit involving everyone who has purchased a CD since 1995.
I remember reading at the time of the introduction of the Compact Disk,
the government was involved with the RIAA in setting the price of CDs.
The RIAA was using the cost of retooling to produce CDs, as a reason to
set the prices high. Congress was "assured," that as they recovered their investment, in new tooling, then the prices of CDs could be reduced.
I have not seen the price of newly released CDs going down, have you.
The RIAA is stealing from everyone who purchases a CD.

I cannot remember the publication in which I read about this.
I have not as yet been able find a reference to cite.
I don't really have the time to make a committed search, but I look from time to time.
Incedentally, the only music Mp3s I have are from my own CDs.
I do not share commercial music files.
