First, they already did. They nailed a kid who posted his book report on Harry Potter. I took a lot of work to convice them to lay off the kid, and they were less than apologetic that they had fingered a person incorrectly.

How many times you think they will get away with this?
My guess would be not many...
RIAA has money.. but i can assure you, that if people start suing them for incidents like that.. they might re-think their approach.

If i encrypt all my MP3's and then put them in my shared folder on Kazaa
And people download them.. and decrypt them... I dont really see how i am at fault.
The files that are being shared by me, are NOT music files.. data wise..
It would be like opening a small application in notepad, and replacing certain characters with other characters, and then naming the file something.txt
and then giving it to people..
Would this be illegal?
Isnt there some law that if the original code is changed so much, it then becomes legal?
Since music is now digital, do the same laws not apply?
