Suing Your Customers a Good Idea?

Posted by michael on from the nothing-better-comes-to-mind dept.

VB writes "Boycott-RIAA is running Fred von Lohmann's article which looks like the ideal answer to solving the P2P problem. He suggests setting up a payment system similar to SESAC, ASCAP, and BMI, collecting organizations for songwriters. This seems such an obvious solution and a great way to get artists paid and give listeners the right to listen to their favorite songs cheaply and keep them out of jail. Why wouldn't this work?"

    I have always thought that suing customers is a great idea! It has all the benefits of:


    - Sucking them dry for every penny you can get out of them.
    - Free publicity from trials.
    - Insures the next time they go to buy, they will think of your company first.

    Any others that you guys can think up?
