P2P is certainly a facet of an attack on profit-margins at the RIAA. However, I think that the P2P community's horn is often tooting to the tune of "we don't affect sales... and perhaps even improve them"
I was looking for something designed to hurt profits.

Does anyone know of any large movements to (or is anyone interested in starting a movement to) boycott RIAA-associated music? Or maybe large RIAA-associated artist music download-a-thons?
I am an up and coming five-month-old who was introduced to a Mandrake 8 distro running on a custom-built P4 as soon as my eyes opened.
I began programming Ruby and quickly moved to Fortran. At two and a half months I picked up a copy of Perl in a Nutshell and have been a convert ever since.
Three months found me teething and coding my own C++ compiler while four months had me reverse-engineering the.tar compression format (for the fun of it.)
By this point I was working on growing a full head of hair as well as a "gentoo" distribution that I had installed myself from the command line, and I had ditched X altogether.
Right now (my six month birthday is coming up in a couple of days) I'm coding my own distro (but I've decided to start from scratch and ditch the Kernel, though it's served me well...) and am quite happy about the computing choices my parents made for me. I think your children will also be grateful and better off for any introduction to the world of technology - be it Linux, Windows, X-box, or those great little read-aloud Disney books where you push the buttons and hear the little sound-clips.

Yeah. Who needs 'em. Or the Jews for that matter. The IT industry should be reserved for blue-eyed, blonde-haired pompous a**holes like you, right?
