    and... there are so many new entertainment mediums these days due to the internet and/or computers

    and... their behavior will create more public scrutiny

    and... "most" old-school media is now cheaper due to the price comparison ("window-shopping") that the internet provides

    and.. people ("Joe and Jane sixpack") are going to get extremely pissed if you take away their fair use (first sale doctrine) rights

    and.. I'm sure you can think of more.

    I personally encourage the RIAA to keep the strategy that they're using because it will act as a catalyst.

    You'll need a large hard drive and a decent processor (1.6Ghz or higher is my guess).

    Not a bad idea.
    Want to make your local Law Enforcement agency(ies) disrespect the DMCA?

    2) When they show up, show them the shift key and explain to them why that's illegal under the current law.
    3) Smile
    4) Profit? and something about Natalie Portman and clusters and overloards and Soviet Russia
