i hope the RIAA realizes that they have made a hell of a lot of enemies by doing this and their record sales are gonna drop significantly more than the measley 6.8% they lost from 2002, and the majority of that is due to lame music thats out there.

They better realize that people will work as hard as they can to get around all this now that the RIAA has started attacking people. Filesharing is not going away and they will learn that the hard way.

they have also probably spent more money now on finding people's IP's and getting subpoenas than they ever lost in record sales.

Kazaa++ also is very good because they cannot see your IP at all, or just putting up a firewall will do the same thing. The RIAA is just digging themselves a huge hole that they are gonna have a hard time getting out of because a lot of people are pissed about this.

I see it that most people download music that they wouldnt have bought in the first place, thats what i do. I buy cds that i like and download songs that i dont feel like spending $20 on.

Also most of my mp3s are ripped from cds i own, and they are planning getting people for damages of $750 to $150,000 for each song. This means i can be charged $3,324,750 (low end) and $664,950,000 (high end). Ya right. RIAA will end up being so hated that some other music industry will be able to dominate and thus get rid of the lame ass RIAA.
