An anonymous reader writes "The RIAA is once again revising their lawsuit strategy, and will now be sending college students and others "pre-lawsuit letters." People will now be able to settle for a discount. How nice."

      3. as a consequence of 1. and 2. it can be said that college students are a tiny market which will become the largest market for premium content, due to their massive disposable income. Which is why it is so important to hammer fear into them when vulnerable, lest they waste said later disposable income on tangibles rather than RIAA members' products.

    I thought they were doing this anyway (old news). I guess when the RIAA or MPAA does anything slashdot shits a brick. I forgot slashdot is now a RIAA sponsored news source (mediawhoring). ;) Go ahead mod me down!

    I would have expected one of these executives to have gotten "wacked" by now for threatenin' a mob boss' kid.

    The verb is "whacked". "Wack" is an adjective.
