i heard they are initially targeting those who share large amounts of copyrighted material. but i'm pretty sure they won't stop there. so just to be safe, just go buy the cd. or download it legitimately. i hate the RIAA, but they have their point -- to an extent.
this whole thing reminds me of high school days in economics with talk about supply and demand. when demand is up, supply is down, therefore driving the costs up. if demand is down, supply is up, therefore driving the costs down. however the RIAA is immune to this. since napster, the demand for cd's (supposedly) went way down, driving the supply up. which should, according to economics, drive the cost down. instead of that happening, until recent price cuts, the RIAA sues napster, sues college students, and will probably sue anyone who mentions the word mp3.
just seemed funny to me how with money, you can be exempt to the laws that we were taught. but at the same time, the artists don't get anything extra out of platinum status album sales.

go RIAA
