The RIAA: How not to win friends or influence people

In an effort that is sure to drive file sharing even further underground and make it even more difficult to ever get rid of, the RIAA is actually suing the users of file sharing programs like Kazaa.

The RIAA's subpoenas are so prolific that the U.S. District Court in Washington, already suffering staff shortages, has been forced to reassign employees from elsewhere in the clerk's office to help process paperwork, said Angela Caesar-Mobley, the clerk's operations manager.

The RIAA declined to comment on the numbers of subpoenas it issued.

If you want to fight file sharing, reduce the cost of CDs to something that makes sense. Stop releasing crap music people refuse to pay for. Start a bunch of cheap pay file sharing services like iTunes. Don't sue everyone with a computer in the entire United States. That will just make people want to steal from you even more because you are a money-grubbing capitalist pig-dog.

Besides, I've seen Behind the Music. I know what those "artists" spend my money on!
