Seems the RIAA fucked with the wrong consumer. From Ars Technica:
The recording industry has spent (and continues to spend) millions of dollars on its litigation campaign against accused file-swappers, but if two lawyers have their way, the RIAA will have to pay all the money back. Not content simply to defend Jammie Thomas-Rasset in her high-profile retrial next week in Minnesota, lawyer Kiwi Camara is joining forces with Harvard Law professor Charles Nesson to file a class-action lawsuit against the recording industry later this summer.It's an interesting attack, and if any bastards were still reading the blargh, they could check it out here. I have to think the RIAA's about to give up on suing its customers, a strategy that allegedly has them in the red.

Go get 'em, I say. If the RIAA had focused more on viable options and less on demonizing music lovers, they'd be making profits by now.
Agreed. While file sharing is theft (and at the Napster level was wholesale larceny), the 'industry' didn't try to figure out how to adapt to technology and went after the lil' fellas. Bad, bad move. Adapt or die in the electronic age.
