It gets to the point where these RIAA people are so arrogant, and so offensive, that even though the illegal copying is wrong, one hopes it puts these loathsome wretches out of business.

My take too. And I'm not big on downloading tunes. You can just sense the RIAA greasing palms in Washington DC to get their dirty work done.

To trot out an analogy I like to use: Most normal folks will sympathize with a businessman who has a shoplifting problem, provide any information they might happen to have about it source, and certainly not engage in shoplifting themselves. However, if the businessman introduces obnoxious security measures (subjecting customers to body-cavity searches, sending goons to sneak into houses to search for stolen goods), most people will say "to hell with you" and even turn their symapthies toward the shoplifters.

That's what's happening to the RIAA's members, and they've brought it on themselves.
