One thing to keep in mind: The RIAA cannot afford to keep trying these cases if they keep getting such paltry sums. The lawyers alone are expecting to earn more than that.
I think it's funny that you argue statistics, and then lump all "conspiracy nuts" into the same group, as if they got together to share and disseminate information. It implies an even less logical conspiracy than the one you refute. To suggest a track record for an undefined list of people is absurd.
Angrily is any amount of rage as long as it's anger. Hungrily is any amount of craving as long as it's hunger. Poorly is any amount of underachieving as long as it's poor. Stupidly is any amount of idiocy as long as it's stupid.
Which is exactly why when a case like this goes before a jury the first question needs to be "would this be a criminal matter if the employer was a private corporation?" To use your example, lets say I worked for the D.O.T and I failed to show up for work and they had me put in jail? Does that make sense? No. This is no different and thus an abuse of power. Unfortunately, we don't have a way of keeping these sort of things in check, and we need to.
True, but they wouldn't have had the clout get the police involved in this manner. They could have filed a report, then waited for a detective to be assigned to the case, then have the detective decide whether or not to charge him, what to charge him with, etc. Throwing him in a holding cell until he gave up said passwords was an abuse of power.

Did you just say that we don't have 64-bit flash because Windows uses 32-bit IE because we don't have 64-bit flash?

They announced the piracy crack down last month, so I'm gonna say it took them 4 weeks to set this up.

Did you even read the quote? It is exactly what your "interesting fact" describes.

No, I get that, but it takes time. And time was the missing ingredient that could have kept this from escalating.
