What do you think of the RIAA’s new strategy?

If you have been living under a rock you probably haven’t heard the great news. The RIAA is going to go after individual file swappers! All of you guys who are sharing gigs and gigs of songs on Kazaa and Morpheus, watch out! The RIAA is going from the top down (most data shared/transferred) and going to sue the top file swappers on the most popular file swapping networks.

I think this is going to worsen the already dreadful public image of the RIAA. Their current tactics have been likened to the strong-arm tactics of the mafia. Personally, I’m less scared of an angry CAPO than the RIAA’s legal team. With the growing public disgust with the RIAA, how do you think their new barrage of law suits is going to effect music sales? I know a lot of people are planning to boycott. Are you?

  I'm Elise. Welcome to my blog. It doesn't get updated as often as I would like it to be, but you can still catch a glimpse of who I am here. Someday I'll find a theme I like for more than a week, and when that day comes we well rejoice as though Balky were in the house.
