And its mainly the small bands that are being threatened by starvation. These bands want nothing more than for tons of people to hear their music, so why should the RIAA not allow that?

A couple of points:
1. the RIAA, in theory, is supposed to represent the artists' best interests. Thus their lawsuits.
2. If artists WANT their music downloaded, they should feel free to post every MP3 of every song they have recorded onto their own website for free download.
