I think that even without piracy the RIAA are doomed. Computer music is going to be huge, artists can make professional sounding recordings with nothing but a PC - the online music scene is generally anti-capitalist and anarchic - as it gains popularity more and more people will listen to and produce free music - which is already on par with, and in many cases far better than commercial stuff (depending on your taste) if you know where to look. That said, I still don't think filesharing will be stopping any time soon, all you need are a few good mates on irc with large mp3 collections and you're set
