I'm not going to defend the specific amounts asked for in the suit, but the RIAA probably knows they're not going to get anywhere near those huge amounts. They're probably trying to make a statement to scare people off.

They're using the old IRS ploy - sue ten to bring millions into submission. It aint going to happen because since nothing tangible is taken, it doesn't "feel" like it's illegal. To most, it is subconsciously the same as recording off the radio. That's why people do it - and will continue to do it.
