Art,

No music publisher that has to pay artists for their work is going to allow free downloads, no matter how many Diamond Rio units flood the market.

Using a Diamond Rio! for illegal purposes will go largely unpunished unless you want to put every youth between the age of 11 and 16 behind bars. There are just too many detours around the barracades that will be erected by the content providers. Just draw a parallel between an off-shore bank account and an off-shore FTP server.

Also, at some point there will be 2 or 3 new free download sites for every one or two that they shut down. And if nobody is making money on the transaction how do you recoop the damages, by caning the kid who started the site?
