I bet 90% of the "targets" the RIAA Gestapo attack are foreigners with little command of the language and more importantly, the law. It's easy to use these bullish scare tactics on a group of folks who aren't well versed in the law and their rights.
I can't wait until someone to tell the RIAA goon squad to fuck off and to go file their lawsuits. It should make an interesting situation.
