"The music industry cannot hope to sue everyone using file sharing to find music as that would take hundreds of years and already the US legal system is complaining about the work the RIAA is heaping upon it. "
Interesting article on the BBC site about how the real threat to RIAA is organised piracy by criminals. 90% of all CDs in China are pirate copies. I think that might have slightly more impact than Joe Q. Public downloading a couple of Turin Brakes tracks.
