This is the same tatic that the BSA uses during the "Amnesty" periods. You promise to be a good boy for the rest of your life, and pay them tons of money and they will leave you alone. Its also the same game that DirecTV is pulling. Admit to doing wrong, pay us tons of money, and we won't sue you. Currently the RIAA does not want money from you, but maybe they will take DirecTv's and the BSA's idea and start requesting $X per song you admit to having.
