They own title to said file, so it's not illegal to share. The FBI has done that to catch pirates, so I'm sure the RIAA can.
Technically RIAA doesn't own the title to anything. People who they represent do. Therefore RIAA is liable just as anyone else if they download said illegal content.

I mean the police these days pretend to be kids and snare people. The person on the other line is an adult, yet they get them for attempted solicitation of a minor. That is entrapment but they still get those people. That's just one example. The only time I CAN EVER remember the entrapment defense working in a major case would be with Delorean. Delorean was approached by the FBI to sell drugs after his was going bankrupt. T hey then got him on drug charges and he won on the defense they approached him and not vice versa. However, 99.99 percent of the time, you're shit out of luck with that defense.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20484054 Wed, 14 May 2008 21:33:54 EDT Re: Hmmm http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20484053 GamerGeek :

Wouldn't that be entrapment

Nope.. not at all. So in order to get around such shaky ground, the RIAA sends someone to download the file and log such activity. There by, they claim the person broke the law and that they now had net losses. Easy fix.
That would require breaking the law.
