When the average PC printer got close to making good counterfeit $20s, the US Treasury spent a zillabuck to change the way it prints currency. Would it be so strange if the RIAA did the same? Well let's see here, the US Treasury did not try to shut down all the PC printer manufactures. Instead they changed the way they packaged the product. Yes perhaps RIAA should change the way it does business as well. But it won't. The fact of the matter is that the RIAA is seeing itself as becoming un-necessary and I'm sure they will spend their war chest fighting it. The slime lawyers will become the benefactors and the greed lives on. They are not popular, and as we see from the recent tobacco trials, what is popular now has a bigger stick than what is right. In the end, I think they are fighting a loosing battle. Steve 667
