The RIAA may have legal merit for filing these lawsuits, but I think they may be shooting themselves in the foot. After all, laws can be changed. They'd better be checking their defendants for VIPs, because if they sue enough people, they are bound to run across a Senator's son or daughter. Next thing you know all that good lobbying money will be down the drain, and their copyrights will be nullified by the stroke of a congressional pen.
