No, this doesn't surprise me, and I am familiar with recording contracts. What is wrong about it is that the RIAA has created new laws to protect only themselves. They don't even care to protect the artists. How come in a democratic society we cannot vote on something like this which affects us? I suppose with this kind of thinking, that if I had a few million to throw around, I could create my own law that allowed me to jaywalk and download music in my own city limits...because I simply paid off the correct politico. This is classic political corruption. If they can create unfair laws, then users should beat them at their own game and share files.
