I haven't been around the music DL scene in the last few years and I hadn't heard of this problem. Could someone elaborate as to what exactly the RIAA is doing?
It seems like that if they were deliberately distributing files with the intent to damage a computer/and or speakers that they might run into some legality problems. Essentially, this should be considered a form of vigilantism which I think is generally prohibited. Also, a good attorney could probably find a way that this action would be in violation of either the DMCA or the Patriot Act in regards to being an attack on electronic property. A really clever attorney with a vengeance for the RIAA might even be able to construe it as an act of terrorism and be able to arrest individuals as enemy combatants.
