I'm not so sure that little breanna will spend the rest of her life not a music fan. In fact, I bet she downloads again. I think that even if the RIAA keeps pissing off fans, there will be fans.
The RIAA's real holding power isn't in the hands of the fans, it's in the hands of the artists. There are too many fans who don't and won't realize what's going on, realize how they could contribute, and follow through on it.
