Internal memos from within the RIAA outline the record label's findings and strategy going ahead. Great story. Hilary Rosen begging executives to talk about the issue and the RIAA issuing the lamest statement ever. From DotcomScoop.com."

    And all of the implicit assumptions that could justify that claim, "A tool is evil if it can be used to do evil things",

    Wrong. A tool is evil if it is primarily used to do evil things. Machine guns are illegal, even though it's "just a tool". In many places, switchblades are illegal even though they are "just a tool".

    The primary purpose of KaZaA et al is the illegal trading of music. 0.1% legitimate use doesn't excuse the other 99.9%.
