They blame piracy for their declining profits...on riaa.com (presuming, of course, that it's up), right under the article about suing the next batch, they blame piracy for their declining profits...how about they start looking in their lawyers' wallets?
This can't be cheap for them to continue this way - suing everyone and their 12-year-old child. It's only a matter of time...
This is a logical step for them. After all, they want to villify the program - since capturing the hearts and minds is the only strategy that'll effectively work for them, because less people = less sharing = less effective. Same strategy as the lawsuits they're mounting against Kazaa users. They know they can't sue everyone, so they're trying to make the service unusable. Your local P2P network's only as good as the users who use it.
Write your local congressperson and denounce this strongly.
