The record companies are willing to negotiate cases individually if someone says they cannot afford the penalties. So far, no case has gone to trial, the RIAA said.

DON'T SETTLE. FIGHT! THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF LAWYERS WHO WILL TAKE YOUR CASE FOR FREE.

'I can't be the only one. Everybody else does it.'

WHY did the RIAA select this particular individual for suing? I have been following the music download battle for a while and it seems to me that the RIAA's selection of the "pirates" they decide to go after is completely arbitrary. If three people walk into a corner grocery store and shoot the clerk, the police don't try to apprehend just one of them.

Also, HOW are downloaders identified? Is there some kind of spyware used?
