The RIAA is using scare tactics and mis-information to justify its actions.

There is no way they can claim that there are over a billion songs being downloaded and swapped on P2P networks. That is an utterly absurd statement based on statistical probabilities and witch craft.

The RIAA is full of fat assed over paid lawyers who decided to branch out from defending insurance companies to suing 11 year old girls and their grand mothers out of their life savings.

Besides, 75% of all music swapped on any P2P network is mostly older music that is difficult if not impossible to find.

The RIAA should focus on filling the void, that is they should start to license on line music shops and allow them the start selling music, all music and not just old crap but new music as well, on line for 25 cents a song for older songs, and more for newer ones.

The record company is either blind or incredibly stupid for not taking advantage of the internet and the market that is currently still devoid of having what it needs to explode into a multi billion dollar market.

In my perfect world, everyone would have access to everything at a reasonable price. There would be no need for song swapping on a P2P network for any song could be obtain for pennies. In my perfect world, all RIAA lawyers, along with their masters from the Record Companies would be lined up against a wall and shot as an example to all others company CEO's who might try and claim financial injuries where non exist.
