:How does the RIAA know if the file is actually theirs unless they downloaded it and checked?
If they download it, the crime occurs (unless the RIAA can't infringe on their own work).
Someone mentioned a few months ago an example of an MP3 called something like In the air tonight. How would the RIAA know if that's the Phil Collins song or something else?
I agree. The RIAA should be working less on trying to convince the courts that just making a file available is infringement. Its a slam dunk case if they just go after the people responsible.
