Throughout history greedy men have sought power and wealth by bleeding it out of the masses...either in forms of Military conquest (Hitler,Napoleon) or in oppression (King George,Louis XVI, Stalin, Mao Sa Tung)or in forms of collasal business (Rockefeller, Morgan, Carnegie)This is merely another affront on our liberties...the RIAA is using the ambiguity of the internet and threats of high-priced lawyers to bully us into paying them for nothing. I say those who are sued should fight the suits...drag them out as long as possible and (if enough people do it) we will slowly bleed the tyrants dry. For as history indicates any law that is unpopular is also impossible to enforce (Embargo act of 1806, Fugitive Slave Act, Prohibition) And once again we, the common citizens of the glorious United States of America, are called to arms and instead of muskets and cannon we shall use the power of the dollar and the will of the masses to once again thwart the power of the tyrants.
Best of luck to all those in the clutches of the RIAA lawsuits. Godspeed and goodluck.
Historically any law that was unpopular in the United States has also been unenforceable. Look at the 1806 Embargo Act, The Fugitive Slave Act and the Prohibition....this is just another example...the RIAA will run out of money to pay their lawyers before we run out of people to fight back
