Frank,

I suspect the RIAA's strategy is to have "downloaders of interest" arrested and "perp walked" in full media view. It would be especially juicy if those arrested were high school or college students.

For another view of the RIAA see:

Janis Ian - The Internet Debacle and then the followup:

I don't think that the RIAA thought very long or very hard about what they were getting themselves into when they proposed the right to hack into users' desktops/appliances. They're messing with the wrong crowd, to put it mildly.

Comes under one of my basic rules, never start a battle with a group of teenagers. They have way more time than you do and they get hell bent on revenge.
