Wouldn't it be a better analogy to say they are suing their own shoplifters?

Put some basic security in and around your shop or shut up.

Don't leave the shop wide open, complain when your ripped off and then ask police to go beat down doors.

Not in the least. I have downloaded mpeg copies of songs I own on cd because I can put hundreds of mpgs on a cd and listen to them using one cd instead of having to change out 10 albums while sitting at the computer listening. I've also got a number of albums I paid for that are ruined or near ruined and have replaced bad tracks with mpgs. I've paid for the content already, why should I have to keep paying them for the same content. I have the original disks and inserts. I might add that I've done the same thing with VHS tapes. But that has been short lived as I've turned right around as I could afford to and have been replacing each of them with dvds.

I have a vast music collection and a much more sizeable video collection that I've spent a great deal of money on. If the MPAA or RIAA have problems with me, then they can do without any more of my money. I know I've been paying someone's salary with the mountain of money I've given in the last 3 years alone since my house burnt down. And I'm not shy, I'd countersue for defamation, libel or anything else I could find just to make my point. I've been walked on enough in life. I won't be a doormat. Bring it on.
