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.

Hey, now that sounds like fun! If I wasnt a poor college kid I'd give it a run. I dont think they're actually doing it with the purpose of blowing up kids' stereos, but someone could probably pull it off.

Downloading takes relatively no time for me, and I was just making a mix for the drive home...
