My chagrin and disappointment stems from they're modus operandi. They clearly stated that "we're persuing these illegal downloaders to provide reparations to the artists who are losing out." Really? Then why is it the artists have yet to see a cent from the these lawsuits? Because we all know in actuality the RIAA isn't concerned with artists but with the record labels. At least be clear of your purposes and don't try to spin this in a way that makes you feel you can sleep at night.
and are we the least bit surprised that they're operating illegally? It's the RIAA, they're above the law when it comes to recuperating losses suffered by artists, when said artists are still waiting for their original paychecks.
